Formerly under Chat there was the possibility to switch to Contacts. It showed a list of contacts administrable by the user that could be split into several groups. It also showed the status of these contacts (although not a very reliable one).
In the new Teams GUI this option is gone. There is however a new Persons app (actually Personen for me, since I am using German), that shows the same list and groups, so I suppose it is intended as a replacement. It would be a great improvement to have this as a separate button in the side view instead of a combo button in Chat and I always wanted that change. BUT ...
The new Persons app doesn't show the status of the contacts. Although the status wasn't very reliable in the old list, it was still better than nothing. Simply removing it makes it impossible to see who in a group might still be online. That was an extremely important feature.
Please add the status to the Persons app.
