A conversation with Alex

Fictional example for this guide; Alex is an imaginary player. The featured image is a styled illustration.

Alex: Meet by the fountain?

You: On my way!

Alex: Bring your camera.

You: Definitely. Let's take a selfie when everyone arrives!

Use a direct conversation for plans with one friend, or open an existing group conversation to catch up with your group.

  • Use the bell to mute or unmute conversation notifications where available.
  • Open … for conversation options, including pinning and notification controls.
