Abstract:

Systems and methods for soft deletion of a group chat conversation are provided. In example embodiments, a listing of suggested chat conversations are displayed in response to receiving a chat message initiation input. The listing of suggested chat conversations includes a first group chat conversation in which the user is a participant. Subsequently, it is determined that the first group chat has remained inactive for a threshold period of time, and in response a soft deletion of the first group chat is executed. The soft deletion comprises removing the first group chat from the listing of suggested chat conversations, however the first group chat remains accessible to the user in a chat feed of the user.
