- srj 4y agoEven AOL instant messenger did this. It would exit the window but still leave the application running with an icon in the systray area adjacent the clock.
- grumbel 4y agoChat apps had that behavior since decades ago, ever since Windows95 got a systray. It's nothing new or special, it's kind of expected at this point. Though I think here is a failure of Microsoft to improve the UI and use different symbols for closing the app and suspending it into the systray. Either way, seems like a rather strict interpretation of 25.2. That said, I kind of welcome it. The principle of least surprise is something that should be much more strictly enforced and a lot of social apps make it way to easy to accidentally leak data into the public.
- mmis1000 4y agoI would say close the window of chat app kill the ongoing chat session more surprising than not. The worst you should do is a prompt with yes/no and a checkbox to remember my decision when you do it the first time.
- mariopt 4y agoYes and Slack does the same.

- 654wak654 4y agoSkype is the reason this behavior was popularized in VoIP apps. TeamSpeak and Mumble have a setting that allows this too, because people got used to Skype not shutting down after clicking "X".
