Why can't I just turn off this feature instead of spending time looking for how to turn it off every time the app is updated. I can't turn it off on my phone and this is annoying. The only reason I still use it is because of work. this 2.0 feature is frustrating me. please help to turn it off and never turn on back again by itself.

    There should be a way to sort it so it is on the original format. Many many many people at my company do not like this new format (it is fine if you can change it back) but it is not a good feature to force people to use. You MUST give a way to change it back if that is the users preference.

    I understand adding the feature, but to make a major change like this and force everyone to use it with no way to change the settings back to how it has been since we started using teams is not a good way to do it. I am sure if the designers programmed it properly there would be a super easy way to have a setting change in the app as it seems simple enough of a setting to add to allow users to customize it how they want.

    Plus I am using it a bit more and many of the conversations are not in order (reverse order I should say) I am seeing many that are old mixed in with new ones at the top.

    In the middle of the day I was responding to a conversation then I wanted to scroll up and see some earlier conversations all of a sudden, my entire teams experience is different.

    This is a poor experience. First updating without any warning. Then changing a time tested paradigm in chat applications to have the newest message be at the bottom of the screen.

    This change just happened to me today and was very frustrating to learn. I agree with your sentiment Joe. Exceptionally poor choice of design. Please be consistent in how messages are displayed or at least give us the ability to choose in the settings.

    This is ridiculous! Give us an option to change this! Chat is "new at bottom", channel is "new at top" this is a joke. Fix this. Give us a new option for new message at top or bottom for chat and for channel seperately. This kinda updates are generating teams unfaming stories.
