Send Availability feature removed from Outlook for iOS?

I have been making regular use of the "Send Availability" feature in the Outlook app for iOS. Recently though, I can't seem to access this. Previously, there was a 'Calendar' button above the keyboard when replying to emails, which allowed easy selection of free timeslots in my Calendar. When I tap the Calendar button now, it just tries to create an event.

Hoping that I am missing something, rather than the feature having been removed?

    MS, way to cement your position as the least user-friendly software developer. You had a useful feature and disabled it. Stupid.

    @zm612 Please take a look at the rest of the thread for a resolution. The feature is available, but with a different icon.

    Please reintroduce this feature, sharing available times! Was one of the best tools in the app, and would also be incredibly useful in the desktop app. Cannot believe Microsoft abandoned this.

    Read the posts above….it’s not gone, just a different icon. The MS support rep that said it was deprecated was just clueless.
