Event chat
Talk with the host and everyone going to an event.
Who is in it
Every event has its own chat. The host and everyone who has tapped Going can read it and write in it. If you change to Interested, or tap Going again to clear it, you leave the chat. The host is always in it.
Opening it
- Open the event and tap Open event chat.
- Or find it in Talk, under Groups, marked 📅 Event.
At the top, a pinned box shows the host's Note for people who are going, such as the exact address. Tap the event's name at the very top to go back to the event.
Writing
Type in Message everyone going… and tap the send button. You can send up to 30 messages a minute. The newest message sits just above the message box and stays there when the keyboard opens.
Good to know
- Event chats are not end-to-end encrypted. The host, everyone going, and the people who run your community's server can read them. The chat says so above the message box.
- The host can remove any message. Tap it, then Remove. It then says "removed by the host".
- An event chat has no reply, no reactions, no editing and no deleting your own message — unlike a chat with a person or a group's chat. Ask the host to remove something you regret. If you delete your account, every message you wrote here reads This message was deleted.
- When the event ends or is cancelled, the chat becomes read-only. Some time later it goes away.
