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.

    This is a very undesirable change. If you want to offer a new option for sorting threads differently, that's great. Just changing the default sort order for all users for core functionality that's existed this way for years and providing no option to the user to adjust on their own....that's not great.

    Does anyone inside Microsoft actually use Teams? Not sure how this change got out of internal testing.

    • It removes the ability to monitor a channel by having the bottom of the Teams window stick out from under the window you are working on.
    • Now we have to scroll down within a conversation to read all the messages, then scroll back up to find the later conversation and start again.
    • There is a mind-numbing amount of arrogance and entitlement on display here to unilaterally change the fundamental UI of your product with no choice for the user to retain the old functionality.
    • As much as i like Teams, i'm going to look into the costs of moving back to Slack.

    These random UI changes are ridiculous, event just making things different contrary to expected use from other apps. Please focus on keeping your users productive and not reactive to random changes

    Just noticed this absolutely baffling f* up of a UI/UX change, then found this topic, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who's utterly frustrated by a lack of any critical thinking skills that went into this utter garbage move. Teams is a bit of a clusterf* anyway, but who on earth thought "well, let's make it even more of a clusterf*"??? First, forcing every user to use this new UX, which is objectively worse than the previous design (since messages and replies are now out-of-order time-wise), is already bad, but not even have it configurable?? Each and every other chat product in the entire world uses "newest replies at bottom" if it's not configurable (Slack, Discord, Whatsapp, Telegram, you name it), so change it just for the lulz of it??? Man, what an excruciating dumb move! What a mind-boggling stupidity! What an utter pile of male cow extrement! May those who thought this was a good idea be fired without pay and be prohibited to ever work on any kind of UI/UX in their entire lives.
