How to unhide chat in teams

Unhiding a chat in Teams can be a bit tricky considering that it removes the conversation from the Chats section.

As for now, MS Teams does not have a dedicated section to store hidden chats. Therefore, you’ll have to manually look up the conversation to unhide it.

To unhide chat in the Teams mobile app, simply find the user and send them a message. Likewise, for the desktop app, it is slightly different. Let’s discuss!

How to Unhide Chat in Teams Desktop

You can unhide hidden chats from the Chat section of MS Teams desktop. 

  1. Open MS Teams.
  2. Enter the name of the hidden Teams user.
    Search for a user in Teams
  3. Hover over to their conversation in the Chat section.
  4. Select the three-dot menu > Unhide.

Pro Tip: If you’ve forgotten the name of a hidden group chat, search for a member from the group. This will display your conversation with that member and the hidden group chat as well.

How to Unhide Chat in Teams Mobile

Microsoft Teams also has a mobile application for Android and iOS users. 

Technically, there’s no Unhide button in Teams mobile. However, if you send the user a message, the conversation will automatically reappear in the Chat section.

  2. Switch to Chat.
  3. On the search bar, enter the hidden user’s name.
    Search for user Teams Mobile
  4. Tap on their name and select the chat icon.
    Select Chat
  5. Send them a text to unhide the conversation.
