Just checked, not just on iOS. Both Android and iOS. Previously, it was present in Android.

We have tested this using below code and In android we are getting localtimezonevalue.

 

  protected override async Task OnMessageActivityAsync(ITurnContext<IMessageActivity> turnContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
        {
            var localetimezone = turnContext.Activity.Entities[0].Properties.ToString(); ;
            var reply = MessageFactory.Text(localetimezone);
            await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(reply, cancellationToken);
        }

Could you please share the code snippet which you are trying? Are you getting localtimezone in Teams web and desktop client?

    Nivedipa-MSFT The localTimezone is missing from 

    context received on TeamsActivityHandler.handleTeamsMessagingExtensionSubmitAction (submitAction invoke event: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/messaging-extensions/how-to/action-commands/respond-to-task-module-submit?tabs=javascript%2Cdotnet-1#the-submitaction-invoke-event)

    The value is present when message extension is used in Desktop/Web Client, but is missing on mobile.

      We have tested this using TeamsActivityHandler.handleTeamsMessagingExtensionSubmitAction 
      method but still in android we are getting localtimezone value.


      Could you please update the Teams version and check again?
