The mobile app often doesn’t show (your new) the status field by itself. In these cases, you’ll have to pick the status indicator yourself.  
Sometimes you also need to enter some other zone and go back to ‘activate’ it.

Not needed anymore, in this case 😉  
I use the sick function “Reflect” which works without flows.

You can tick the box “create tag”, and then the value is available in flows. You can see it in the examples below
