Do you know how Teams is working?

Updates are rolled out server side, but sometimes there are requirements that you have a decent updated client. I've seen sometimes when MS written about updates that they state that you should have version x or later, but I've seen the new features in older versions anyway.
So updates are rolled out server side for the desktop client, but sometimes you might have to update to a never client if your client is really old.
That is also why you might not see a new feature in your client but your friend working at another company have that new feature and both of you are running the same client. Then your friends tenant is using servers with updated code but your tenant is not updated yet.

Okay, good to hear that others has seen new features on the old versions as well. Most likely the codes are already available on earlier versions, but like you said, waiting that MS turn the features ON on tenant level.
And yes, because of the server site changes/upgrades it was already a bit challenging to do tests with older clients. But if the clients are behaving also so no-predictable ways, then there are not so much to do to find in which versions certain issue is fixed.
Only what we could hope, is the product group soon gets solved the missing release notes documentation.
