Chatter Timestamps Are Going Local!

Good news! We’ve made some updates to make sure the time you see in Chatter reflects your timezone. From now on, all timestamps in Chatter - including in your chat threads and the chatter drawer - will reflect your local timezone.

What's Changed?

Local Time, Everywhere:

Whether you’re chatting early in the morning or late at night, you’ll see timestamps in Chatter that match your current local time (PST, CST, EST, you name it).

As you travel or as the clocks change, Chatter timestamps will automatically adjust to your new local time. Daylight savings? No problem!

Consistent Across the Board:

This change isn’t just for one part of Chatter - it’s for all of it. Every timestamp, whether in the chat thread or the chatter drawer, will now show the local time relevant to you.

Clear and Understandable:

We’re keeping things clear and straightforward. Expect to see the full timestamp format (like “MM/DD/YY HH:MM PST”) that fits the standard for your region.

What You Can Expect:

Seamless Integration: Your Chatter timestamps will automatically update to reflect your current timezone—no extra steps needed from you.

Enhanced Readability: With the timezone clearly displayed, you’ll never have to wonder when a message was really sent.

Reliable Updates: Even if you hop timezones or push the clocks forward for daylight savings, Chatter’s got you covered.

Friendly Reminder: All these improvements are part of our ongoing commitment to make Smart Visibility as user-friendly and relevant to your needs as possible. Dive into Chatter and see how time really does fly when you’re having fun - or getting work done!

Enjoy the update, and let us know what you think! 😊
