Recent / Chat list - Looking for Information
I have been searching for specific information about how this list is populated. When you click on Chat in Teams, a 'Chat List' or 'Recent' view of chats is displayed. We have several questions about...
1. It used to be 30 days. But I got stuff back 5 months now seems to be the cut off.
2. Not that I am aware long as they fit in that window.
3. Hiding just hides them, and even if they go past the 5 month window if you chat with the same people / search and use the chat etc. it will appear back on top of your recent list if you send a message but chats persist forever unless a retention policy is applied to your chats to be removed after x days. The recent list is just that, shows recently used (5 months isn't exactly recent but that seems to be the time range) or not hidden chats.
Hope that helps.
