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.
- Open MS Teams.

- Select the three-dot menu > Unhide.
To hide the user again, hover over the conversion, and select the three-dot menu> Hide.
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.
- Open MS Teams.
- Switch to Chat.
- On the search bar, enter the hidden user’s name.
- Tap on their name and select the chat icon.
- Send them a text to unhide the conversation.
If you wish to hide the user again, slide left and select More > Hide.
