I'd like to group chats together, not people.
I know this has been asked before, but the solution provided is not working anymore.
I get both personal chat messages and group chats chat messages from several hundred people and would like to categorize them to find, e.g. all messages from a certain group. I found that I can make Contact Groups, which means I can group several contacts into one group, but I cannot add "group chats" to such a contact group. How do I do this? thanks.
Conversations involving multiple participants, allowing collaboration and information sharing in Teams

I've also desperately been looking for a solution on this front. Because I'm involved in many projects, I have too many chats and I would love if one of the next features would be to create folders for chats. Hide/Unhide, marking as read and unread doesn't cut it for my use, unfortunately.
We need folders or categories to organize chats, seriously
And Slack and several other competing applications. Why does Teams not offer this basic functionality?
Quite frankly this is Teams biggest drawback and it goes beyond just organising chats. It stems from this insistence in separating chats and channels. To most people I know It's not intuitive, and what happens every time is that people mostly ignore channels and have their entire company communication structure around chats. The product would be miles better if Microsoft wasn't so opinionated about the modes of communication within teams, and just made chats the focal point of messaging communication with more tools and management options for users.
This is why coming from a tool like Slack, Teams feels like such a downgrade...
