To be clear, I think this is tied to the Public Preview option. I enabled it, a few minutes later I got the popup and could make groups of chats. I tried disabling the option and restarted Teams, the groups went away. Re-enabled, groups are back.
The option is in the About Teams section (bottom left of Settings screen) at the bottom.

Thanks,

Holy cow, this is actually true for me too. I saw this comment, tried it, and no luck. I tried enabling the 'Public Preview' version of Teams in the settings, no change. Now I got a popup that I can make sections and move my chats around (basically the same as I did when we used WebEx).

How do you enable the Early preview option?
Thanks

Perfect. This can really help folk like myself that get tons of Teams chats and then have to go back and fin 'that one' in your chat history when a dozen or so folk would up in the discussion at different points.
