Teams chats segregated into personal and meeting chats

did you UNCHECK the word Chats? That fixes it. Or turning off the filters so you do not accidentally check one of them.

Thank you. Yes, I did UNCHECK the Chats first.

Turning off the filter does not show meeting chat in the regular Chats list, and therein is the problem. I have to search for it in the search bar. If the filters are turned on, I can click on the meeting chats so it switches the list to the meeting chats. Either method is annoying to me, and I fail to understand why Microsoft felt this was a beneficial change. What I would like them to do is restore us to the previous version.

This doesn't remove the segregation between chats and meeting chats. They are still separated and if anything, actually harder to find without the filter. I have to use the search feature to switch between meeting and regular chats.

if you just click on the item you selected, you can turn it off in the teams view. In this example, unclick Chats above Favorites.

OR, click the three dots by your image in the top right of teams., When you hover it says 'Settings and More', then click settings.
on the left list click Chats and Channels, then turn off FILTERS.

We solved this. Turn off the filters in settings and everything returns to normal.

If this change is necessary, then allow us to pin meeting chats to the left part of the chats section (favorites; people chat; meeting chat) AND have the activity section show me the message. Instead I see an indication of a new message I cannot find. When I click on activity It does not show me the message and I have no idea where the message is. How is this an improvement?

I saw this and was very hopeful - but could not find any were in Teams settings to turn off filters. Can someone explain?
