Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	You can open the chat settings panel from the upper-right corner of a group chat, select the edit icon beside the group name, and save a new name.	Teams lets users rename a group chat from the top of the chat window with a pencil icon next to the current name.	Google Chat lets users name a group direct message from the chat name menu and save the updated name.	Notion lets users rename sidebar items such as AI chats or pages from the item menu.	Acrobat lets users change the displayed author name for comments, which is an identity label rather than a group chat name.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The rename entry is grouped inside the current chat settings flow. Advantage: The updated name can be used directly to identify chats in the conversation list.	Compared with WPS: It also provides a top-area rename entry, but the official guidance focuses on Teams group chat naming only.	Compared with WPS: It supports naming a group direct message, but the feature is framed around message conversation naming.	Compared with WPS: It supports renaming pages or chat items, not a dedicated group chat name setting.	Compared with WPS: It focuses on comment author identity and does not provide the same group chat naming workflow.

2	Department chat classification	Admin, HR, and operations teams	Too many chats in the list reduce search efficiency	Use department-based or purpose-based group names
3	Temporary meeting collaboration	Meeting organizers and participants	Default names for temporary groups are hard to recognize	Rename the group to the meeting topic before or during the meeting
4	Cross-team coordination	Members working across teams	The same member combination may be used for different tasks	Use a task or delivery topic as the group name
5	Ongoing group maintenance	Group owners and admins	An old name no longer matches the current purpose of the group	Update the group name when the group purpose changes
