Description
Hallo,
we use a lot of direct chats in our institution.
Those chats can be sorted by name or by the time of activity.
However, with lots of chats being started, the left pane gets crowded.
It would be helpful if users could create "folders" in the direct messages section of the left pane, allowing contacts/chats to be organized by e.g. "controlling", "IT",...
Thank you!

Research direction

Define folder creation and organization for contacts or chats, including categories such as “controlling” and “IT”; done means users can organize direct chats into folders while retaining the existing sorting options.
