Remember expand/collapse contact groups
The new contact list is now live and it has the option to expand and collapse contact groups. However when I restart teams the are all expanded again.
It would be better if Teams remembered when I collapse a group. then I can for example hide groups of contacts I don't use as often.

Seems pretty basic in terms of functionality and it was present in past instant messaging apps. What's the issue? Get it done.

I feel like my comment is going to be a drop in the ocean, but here it is.
This idea was posted 2 years and 8 months ago.
If a major annoyance like this one hindering the basic functionality of an instant messaging app, cannot be fixed by Microsoft in the amount of time stated above, then I do not know what else can.

I probably don't need to add my comments on here since there are a zillion already but I get super frustrated with this issue. If I could set up the contacts like I want (hide, etc.) at the beginning of the day I would be okay with that but every time I move off of the contacts list it goes back to the way it was. Ugh!!

This simple correction is LONG overdue - I have a number of contacts and some i want handy every day, others are people around the world I do not always need, but i need to know them or their counterparts if they are not available.

Considering how long this essential feature has already been asked for, I dont have any high hopes,but today, the waste of time due to this built-in Alzheimer-like feature was really getting on my nerves again (not to mention the sluggish switch between contacts and chats), so I would also like to vote for this feature

Why is this working in skype for business and your Teams but not with the contact groups ?

Super annoying when working within a large company. I have just moved over from Skype to where I have 40 groups, if I was more proactive I could end up with nearly twice as many. Something to add, which would improve workflow (possibly already brought up in another thread) would be to include sub categories for a departments rota, or divisions within that team.

Really super annoying. Unbelievable Microsoft cannot improve on this simple stuff.

The only way to make Teams worse would be if it gave you cancer.

2 years and no response from Microsoft. Not to mention how "laggy" teams becomes when the lists are expanded. Microsoft, you are trash.

You don't even have to sign out for the groups to expand again, very annoying.

Very annoying problem. I cannot vote for Teams over Skype until the contacts is not improved (incl. organizing groups and tag)

Can only join that it is annoying that Teams does not remember next day that I have collapsed the groups. And much more annoying that nothing happens since years now and hardly to understand that Microsoft will stop supporting Skype as long as new Software still affected with growing pains.
