Microsoft’s remote meeting software will lose major functionality on mobile soon if you don’t update your app.
In a support note on its website (via TechRadar), Microsoft said that people who use the iOS or Android apps for Microsoft Teams need to update to the latest version of the app by the beginning of October. Users who fail to do that will lose access to the app’s Calendar functionality, which would obviously be a big hindrance to anyone trying to keep track of when their meetings are supposed to happen.

It should be stated that nothing is changing in the browser or desktop versions of Teams. This only applies to the mobile app.
“This change helps maintain a reliable calendar experience on iOS and Android devices and ensures compatibility with ongoing Teams service updates,” the note said.
No reason was given for why this feature would be shut off for those who fail to update, but TechRadar speculated that it had to do with the upcoming end-of-life for Microsoft’s Exchange Web Services system. Updating the mobile Teams app will presumably get around that, allowing for continued use of the Calendar feature.
Don’t miss any meetings, folks.
