Return to the conversation list on a phone

Use Back in the thread header to show the mobile conversation list.

Updated 2026-11-11

On a narrow screen, Messages shows the conversation list and the selected thread as separate views. After opening a thread, the list is hidden so the messages have enough room.

Use the Back control in the thread header to return to the conversation list. From there, change the search or status filter and open another thread. This control changes the Messages view; it is different from the browser’s Back button, which can leave the page.

Before switching threads, send a finished reply and verify it appears, or keep a copy of unfinished text. Check the new thread’s title before using the composer again.

If you cannot find the conversation list, look near the selected subject for Back rather than assuming the sidebar was removed. A wider browser layout can show both panes at once, so the control may not be displayed there. The underlying conversations are the same; the layout adapts to the space available on the device.
