Enhancements to New Conversations UI: Inbox Unread Counter & Standardized Date Format

Modified on Mon, 26 Jan at 4:58 AM

We’ve enhanced the New Conversations UI to give you clearer visibility into your unread conversations and eliminate confusion when tracking conversation timelines.
What’s New?
Real-Time Unread Counter
You can now see the unread conversation count for each inbox. 
  • Real-time updates: The unread count updates instantly as new conversations are received / marked read or unread.
  • Always visible: The count remains visible even when you’re browsing other tabs within the inbox.

Standardized Date Format
  • We’ve standardized the date format across the Conversations page. Previously, dates were displayed in different numeric formats in different areas, which could be confusing (mm/dd vs dd/mm).
  • Dates are now shown as MMM-dd (e.g., Jan 5) using the month name for quick, unambiguous identification.
