Using Outlook for iOS for personal email and calendar management
Wow. That is it. Thank you!!!
Can this also be done from the desktop application or the web application?

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?

2024-08-20T18:13:24+00:00 The support offered by MSFT is pathetic to say the least.. some brainiac changed the icon in the app and they never updated their official guide. Use the little guy/person icon instead and that will bring up the availability menu. As always MSFT 🤮

I fail to see how the suggested workaround is a viable alternative.

2024-07-26T11:38:07+00:00 Send Availability was the best feature when trying to share your availability with people outside your organization. The suggested solution is not even close. I suggest Microsoft bringing it back, please.
