# Chats
The Chats screen shows a list of your active chats on Wusoup!
By default these are sorted by **most recent message**:
![[Assets/ss-inbox-by-recent.png]]
You can change the **sort order**, show only [[Usage/Pinning|pinned]] chats, or filter by whose turn it is to write:
![[Assets/ss-inbox-controls.png]]
## Removing old chats
You generally want to try keep your chats list short, to make it easy to **see the folks you're actively chatting with**.
Feel free to **remove chats** that are no longer relevant:
![[Assets/ss-inbox-remove.png]]
This isn't the same as [[Usage/Blocking|blocking]]. If you get a new message in a removed chat, the whole chat **will show up** again in your chats list.
## Hidden chats
To keep your chats list from becoming overwhelming, Wusoup shows only your last ~30 chats. Older chats without recent activity will be **automatically hidden** by default.
You can:
1. Keep interesting chats around by [[Usage/Pinning|pinning]] them
2. [[#Removing old chats|Remove]] old or uninteresting chats
3. Access any chat by using the **email link** included in any new-message notifications for that chat
