that's very unlikely! WebJobs are going to stay, and so the CRON expressions. – Sunny Sharma Oct 21 '19 at 12:23

WebJob using CRON EXPRESSION will not be affected. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-create
You can also leverage Azure function and Azure Logic apps for this.
Created Recurrence Trigger Logic App with the required schedule.
