What you need to know

• Google Chat is rolling out a new feature that auto-hides conversations that have been inactive for a week.
• The new declutter feature is only available if there are more than 10 direct messages or Spaces on the left-hand panel.
• Meanwhile, pinned conversations will remain at the top of the view even if they have been inactive for more than seven days.
