I soaked them for at least 16 hours, and they were still a bit hard. Maybe because I bought "raw" chickpeas.
Now I'm giving them a slow boil, and they look much better.

To speed up the softening when cooking add a bit of baking soda to the water
And/or use a pressure cooker
Pressure cooker + baking soda allows to cook them right away from dry BUTT it's always good to soak them and wash them before cooking cuz they emanate "antinutritional" natural chemicals to the soaking water, plus less cooking time
