Filter to unread messages to catch up on conversations across chat and channels or use the new @mention view to access messages directed at you in one interactive list.

Organize your way
A new Favorites section contains your prioritized chat and channels. Create custom sections to organize conversations by projects and topics.

Switch to a more familiar view
If you prefer your chats separate from teams and channels, or you want to turn on message previews, you can customize your view at any time.
