What is Compact View  

The Compact Chat Listing feature is designed for users who want to maximize their screen space. By reducing the vertical padding and scaling down certain elements in your main conversation list, this setting allows you to see more chats at once without the need for constant scrolling.

When to Use Compact Listing  

This feature is highly recommended for:
  • Small Screens: If you are using a device with a smaller display, scrolling feels excessive.
  • Efficiency: If you prefer a "data-heavy" view, you can scan your inbox for updates at a glance.
You can switch between the standard and condensed views at any time.
