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.

Not being able to set the default expand/collapse is poor programing on Microsoft part. It is sad that they have not addressed this with an update by now with all of the comments about it. Also the groups cant be organized.

Still the same - it is enough to change in Teams from Chat Contacts to something else (Calendar, Calls, Files...) and when back all the contact are expanded, even if I used only one group expanded and all other were collapsed. What a new great application!

Same here! ...
I am using MS products for 20 years by order of my employer and can compare what was working in the past and what is removed now:
In Lync/Skype the "expand/collapse all" feature was in place, why not in Teams which uses all my older contact groups of Lync again.
I think the longer the list of angry user voices the greater the satisfaction of a monopolist! -

Adding myself to the clearly verrrry long list of people already requesting it.
It's annoying to have to collapse down each group in turn every time I go into the groups.
Please do asap!
discouraging to see this has been requested since June 2018!Option 1: Remember prior state
Option 2: Collapse by default -

Dear Microsoft. Will you consider including this functionality? It's been very useful for the last 10+ years in both Lync & Skype. Thank you.

I can't stress how important something like this is.
As I'm building up my teams it is getting more and more annoying that the groups are expanded by default. I find myself constantly scrolling to find my groups, let alone the contacts in them. While remembering the last state of each group would be great, simply allowing us to choose to have the groups all collapsed by default would be a huge improvement.
The different groups I have to manage are expanding so rapidly, and now seeing that this request is so old, I have come to the conclusion that while I will be using Teams, I'll have to find a better way to group people. Using the Teams contact list is no longer working for me. I have too many groups to manage. As some of the previous posters have stated it's slowing us down.
Please implement this. We really need this. It's a HUGE pain point.

This feature should be active in Teams. I have over 350 contacts sorted into approx. 20 groups. Every time you toggle to another function and back to contact all the groups are expanded. We need it to stay in the previous state as Skype did. I am slower in communication without this functionality.

Microsoft, QUICK WIN HERE.
This has got to be an easy 'quick fix' solution that can make users happy.

PP LLLL EEEEE AA AA SS EEEEEnot having to scroll through my 100 contacts every time would make this much more efficient. Being able to just expand the group i need to find the contact i need would be so much quicker. If there needs to be a default it would be better for it to default to collapsed groups.

Add me to the long list of people supporting this. This is a major annoyance.

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

Yes, i am expecting the same too.
Is that something considered and get it fixed ?
