My workaround for a long time has been to use the x next to the chat in the sidebar. While that was a little difficult because the button was not visible due to the lack of hover on a tablet, it worked. I was able to remove a chat from my sidebar.

But it doesn’t work anymore. I think the button is no longer there. I think it’s now impossible to close a chat using a tablet.
