Chat rooms have stronger admin controls

June 11, 2026 Back to changelog Chat rooms now include stronger controls for keeping conversations organized, safe, and easier to follow.

What’s New

  • Admins can delete inappropriate messages.
  • Admins can pin or unpin important messages.
  • Rooms can be locked when posting should pause.
  • Members can be muted or restricted from posting when needed.
  • Mentions help people call attention to specific members in group chats.
  • Message reactions let members respond quickly with lightweight faith-community reactions.
  • Read receipts and unread dividers make it clearer where a member left off.
  • Per-room notification preferences let members mute conversations for a set time or turn off alerts for a room.

Why This Matters

Church teams can keep group conversations healthier without losing the quick, friendly rhythm of chat.
