How do I remove the "Suggested" list from the new Teams? This is both annoying and foolish.

    1. Uncheck the Show suggested replies in chat option. This should remove the “Suggested” list from your Teams chat.

    NO .. this does NOT work! No surprise since evidently Microsoft doesn't care what the users want any more (made evident with **** like "suggested contacts" and "focus inbox" etc on it's software)!

    So please, how the hell do we remove this trash before we remove Microsoft from our billing cycle and look elsewhere?

    I think I figured a way to remove these suggestions. I was in disbeilf and agree with all comments and determined to find the solutions. I noticed that a majority of the suggestions were from organizations that shared external and/or guest access. I focused on how to remove external and/or guest access and went through these steps:

    1. Go to Admin Settings
    2. Select Users
    3. All users listed can be deleted one at a time
    4. Select the three dots next to the users that you don't want
    5. Sign out of Teams
    6. Sign back in and the "suggested" list should be gone - or only contain names from external users

    Hope it works for you. Let me know

    I forgot you were using the browser version. Let me correct. This is fixed in the actual Teams app in windows.

    Sorry

    This is an incorrect answer. Suggested Replies are automatic phrases to reply to a message. This has nothing to do with Suggested Contacts. At this point, there is no way to manipulate suggested contacts. I am currently running a test to see if this is integrated into Outlook. I have cleared my Auto-Complete List through Outlook options. I will report in 24 hours whether this works.

    Waited 3 days to see if Outlook was the culprit. It is not. This needs to be fixed!
