In Classic Teams, you could acccess Contacts from Chat pull down.

MS have removed this menu and added a new People app which is not on main LHS taskbar by default.

Before in classic teams, you coul click on contact and see all chats immediately.

Now you have to click on a chat icon as well.

Well done MS for following W11 design guidelines - use two or more clicks when previously you used one!

Add a new group is cackhanded - you now have to click on a contact, left click aand create a new group.

The new People app is badly designed, and vastly inferior to the old contact menu.

With contact menu, you could scroll up and down and see all contacts in group order (subsorted alphabetically)

With People app, you can either see one group only, or if you want to see all, all contacts from all groups become a single list.

How and why on earth did the Teams numpties redesign things and make a complete hash of things. If I was their boss, they would all be collecting their UB40s.
