Where to find it

Chat → three dots → Conversation Details; or Preferences → Contacts

Conversation Details contains information about this contact and chat. “Preferences → Contacts” manages contacts across your accounts. Read the confirmation text before any removal.

What do the choices mean?

Pin and mute

Pinning keeps the chat near the top of your list. Muting suppresses notifications; messages can still arrive.

Bell and privacy

Use the bell to choose notifications for this chat. Details also provides per-chat typing notifications, read receipts and retention settings.

Edit alias

Set your own display name for the contact in contact management. This does not change their XMPP address.

Block

Blocking one contact differs from blocking their entire domain. A domain block also affects other people at that provider. Remove the block to undo it.

Remove contact

Removing through chat details or contact selection also removes the history stated in that confirmation. The bin under Preferences → Contacts preserves history. “Close Conversation” only removes the open chat from the list.
