This will be returning in the future, it just wasn't ready to also be included in the updated lobby UI for this release.

Totally get it's frustrating for you, but just as a reminder, the experience on Mobile is completely subject to change at the moment. Part of getting us launched this year is introducing critical updates - and some of those may mean the experience is sub optimal or modified at times. It's why we're still in Beta.

By playing on Mobile in Beta, it does mean being braced for things like this - but you are massively helping us deliver on this launch this year by playing and we do really appreciate you bearing through any bumps along the way.
