How do you rename Categories in the People app of Microsoft Teams?

Question

This seems like it would be a basic feature, but I don't see it. How do you rename Categories in the People app of Microsoft Teams?

Answer 1

Hi @JeremyJPurcell

According to our official documentation, the Teams People app does not currently support editing category names directly.

Fortunately, you can achieve a similar effect by creating a new category and reassigning the contacts:

Create a new category:

In the People app, find the contact you want to move. Tap More options and select Add to category. Enter the name of the new category and select Create new category to confirm.

Delete an old category:

Remove all contacts from the old category and the old category will automatically disappear.

If you would like this feature to be added, please submit feedback in Microsoft Feedback. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.

Thanks for your understanding and support.
