What’s changing
Following the recent launch of message quoting, we’re introducing an additional feature that improves the Google Chat experience by helping you find and access your most relevant Chat conversations easier.
Chat declutter automatically hides direct messages and spaces that have been inactive for the last 7 days. This feature only activates when a section has more than 10 conversations, and does not affect pinned conversations.
By toggling the “More” button, you will still have the option to view and access a comprehensive list of your Chat conversations.
Getting started
- Admins and end users: No action required. You’ll automatically see these updates over the next several weeks.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 2, 2023
Availability
- Available to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts
