Send messages, photos and voice messages to Space members from Chat in the Spacetalk App, one-on-one or in a group. Chat uses your phone's mobile data or WiFi.
Who this is for: Anyone in a Space using Chat in the Spacetalk App. Some actions, like blocking, may need the Space admin.
How to start or open a chat
Open the Spacetalk App and tap Chat at the bottom of the screen.
To open an existing chat, tap the conversation.
To start a new chat, tap the speech bubble icon in the top right corner.
Select one or more members from the list — you can only chat with people in your Space.
Tap the arrow icon next to the selected names to create the chat.
How to send a message
Once the chat is open:
Text message — tap the text box at the bottom, type your message, and tap the blue arrow to send.
Photo — tap the camera icon to take a new photo, or the album icon to send one from your phone's gallery. Photos attach to the message automatically — tap the blue arrow to send.
Voice message — tap the microphone icon to record. Tap the stop icon when finished, then tap the blue arrow to send.
How to manage a chat
Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner of any chat to access settings. From here you can:
Change the chat name
Add more members — tap Chat Members, then tap the + icon to add someone
Make a member an admin of the chat
Block a member — tap the member's name, select Block User, tick the required box and tap Block User to confirm
Remove a member — tap the member's name, select Remove from Chat, read the conditions and tap Remove User to confirm
Note: If you do not have permission to block a user, contact the Space admin — they can complete the action on your behalf. When you create a Space, you are its Space admin.
