(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Users ability to delete chats

Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Experts

From Microsoft Corporation
Technical Bulletin MC466199 · Published Nov 12, 2022 · Last updated Jan 24, 2023

Message Summary

Updated January 24, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Due to an issue with admin controls in TAC that we are actively working on fixing, please refer to the PowerShell documentation to control the setting for enabling or disabling delete chat capability. Link: Set-CsTeamsMessagingPolicy

Users will be able to delete 1:1 chats, group chats, and meeting chats if they are a participant in Microsoft Teams. This permanently deletes the chat only for the user, other people in the chat and conversation history are not impacted.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 90723

When this will happen:

We will begin rolling out in early December and expect to complete rollout by mid-February (previously mid-December).

How this will affect your organization:

Once available, users will be able to delete 1:1 chat threads or chat groups from the Teams desktop or mobile application. By selecting the ellipsis, users can select the Delete option to clear their chat list.

If Admins want to turn off this capability, they can do so from the admin portal under messaging policies. If turned off, users in the tenant will no longer see the delete option for their chats.

This feature will be enabled automatically and there is no action required at this time.
