Allow removal of suggested contacts
Please remove/turnoff Suggested contacts from bottom left

The option to “discard” suggested contacts in your chat list is rolling out to users. We will be making further changes to make suggested contacts more relevant for new users in the future as well, so marking as partially completed. Thanks for your patience with this one.

I don't have a problem with suggested contacts but what I've found is that a Resource Account that is attached to a Call Queue or Auto Attendant will remain as a suggested contact even if I purge said account from the Azure AD so effectively a broken contact will remain... and with no way to manually remove the "contact" will remain stuck there in my account.

yes please make it removeable asap. It is very annoying. All kind of contacts i don't want to put on my standard list. It consumes screen space.

Today is the second day of work in 2021. I was informed that we have to give up Skype for Business and replace it with MS Teams. Is it still not possible to remove the Suggested Contacts from the list? I need to use this software professionally.

Adding a simple function such as ability to remove individuals from suggested contacts list should not take over a year. Should it? Why is Microsoft so slow to user responses.

Why you didn't listen your users. It's annoying to have a lot of useless contacts in "Contacts" and I can't do anything. I feel like Microsoft Team's *****.

Get this done Microsoft... it's obnoxious. We have common Area Phones and now after make a call or two they all now have "suggsted contacts". Feel bad for the people who they called... now their names are stuck on Team common area phones (CAP). Pleaes provide a way to DISABLE this!

We would very appreciate when the function "suggested contacts" can be switched off or the suggestions could be deleted. We have no benefit or usage of it. Please turn that off.

I do not like anyone else suggesting who I should make contact with. I already have enough friends and contacts.
Please allow the 'Suggested Contacts' feature in TEAMS to be completely disabled.
I feel like someone in IT in our company is foisting this piece of rubbish on us and I don't like it. So now you see that one silly little feature completely spoils the new user experience. I dislike TEAMS already and I've only been using it for a week. I will be turning off all the useless features. the only thing I need is to hold meetings and make phone calls. Oh and the way it's setup I can't make calls outside of our company which is pretty useless for a customer facing role.
I like Zoom a lot more than this, but I don't have a choice. Please fix it so it does the basics and allows all the frilly nonsense to be disabled.

A Users Voice

3+ years and still nothing on this which is a basic request (and an obvious one). Tons of the user voice comments are from devs and any one of us could knock this out in a day ... 3+ years !!! Nothing !!!
All this illustrates is how little you care about our user voices. -

Uggh! Ridiculous. We possibly could not release software like this.

When will this be fully implemented. Suggested contacts as well as "Other Contacts" is just clutter for our company employees who use Teams. This is almost as frustrating as not having the ability to delete past chats. You can "hide" them, but that is not a solution if you want to keep your chat area cleaned up or remove irrelevant chats.

So... has this been implemented yet? I still only have the option to 'invite' when I click on the three dots next to the suggested guest (who I do not want in my meeting again).Please add this option - this thread is over 3 years old.

Please could Microsoft provided an update on when this will be fully implemented as this is causing many issues in my company. It's embarrassing promoting Teams over Skype for business when rudimentary options have still not been implemented!

This was marked as partially done over a year ago and it still doesn't work. I haven't added anybody to me speed dial yet Microsoft has added several that I have contacted twice. Still sorted by first name without an option to sort by last name. The top 4 suggested calls have 2 of them I haven't called more than once. I don't need to know the history of all the calls I have had over 3 months ago. I don't need people listed multiple times in the history. The only option you I have is to call back, chat, add to speed dial (which you have already done and I don't want them listed) or add to contacts. At least you didn't automatically add them to my contacts. I delete old calls on my phone why can't I delete them on Teams history. It is just a long list of stuff I don't want to or need to look thru.

Over three years and this hasn't been addressed as yet? Teams is counter-intuitive, lacks the most common user controls, such as setting options that allow one to decide whether or not to import Outlook contacts or delete contacts on the fly, and triple lists contacts added (Speed Dial, Other Contacts, Suggested Contacts). Really, is this the best Microsoft can do?

Can you please remove Suggested Contacts from the Speed Dial or give you the option to have it or not. It is showing old employees that no longer work for the company and I do not want to see them on my speed dial.

How could Teams be a proper replacement for Skype for Business when such a simple feature was not even planned?
