For Microsoft Teams chat, when you add a new member into group chat which has three or more members, the new member can view the history chat. However, when you add other person into the existed one on one private chat, the newest member cannot view the chat history - that option doesn't populate. This may be what you are seeing.
To upvote the request to add "Include Chat History" options when adding a contact to a one-on-one chat, please visit this UserVoice:

Over two years to include this and still not done!

Extraordinarily basic feature that you cannot share a chat with someone else, either via "chat history" or even a rudimentary "Share..." button to send an email with the chat to someone. Please add/fix this.

this is really annoying I can't start a chat with 1 person and then add a second in later (choosing whether to share all the chat history or just 1 day/2days etc.)

I thought it was just me or the version of Teams I was working with. But looking at the thread, seems like this has been an ongoing issue since last year and what makes it worse is that I don't see any response from Microsoft. I would think this has enough weight to bubble up to the top of their break/fix bug process. Very disappointing and beyond annoying.

This kind of REALLY SUCKS. ;)
Detailed chat with a person >> need to share information with a third/fourth person >> must copy and paste all of the chat bubbles to a second Group Chat.
Irritating, but not surprising.

I had been able to include chat history via drop down menu, but that drop down menu is no longer available for me.

Yeah, this needs to be fixed. I had a chat with someone concerning a Production Support issue and now need to add a second person to it. Doing so would provide the second person with all of the information that he needs. But I can't and now I have to copy and paste all of the information from yesterday's chat with Person A into an email.

This one bit me today, very annoying. We wanted to loop another engineer into a detailed 1:1 chat. When I tried Adding them, I didn't see any options for sharing history, and it ended up switching the open chat to an older one between the three of us.
I tried hiding and even leaving the older chat, then tried adding him again...same result, no option to share history, it just created a new chat with the three of us.
Please, fix this!

When does a member of the Microsoft Teams Product Team respond to this thread?

Need the function to add one or more people to an ongoing chat.
Every conversation (Chat) leaves to a greater understanding of the problem being discussed and the need to bring in key people is necessary and right.
Competing products such as Slack allow this and I am trying to move the entire organisation away from slack to a more robust teams. -

this is an inconvenient and completely arbitrary definition of privacy. if someone wants to declare a chat as private when they start it that might make some sense but the ability to add people to a chat should definitely not be based on some irrelevant rule about how many parties are part of the initial conversation.

Yes this "feature" is irritating - and why should a 3-person conversation potentially be any less private than a 2-person conversation? At a minimum the option to add a person to a 1-1 conversation with chat history could require the other party to accept, but seems unnecessary. I find Teams a good product otherwise - come on Microsoft, sort this one out!
