Block One-On-One Secure Chat Messages When You’re Unavailable

You can now change your Secure Chat status to Unavailable — preventing anyone from sending you one-on-one messages and preventing you from sending Secure Chat messages to recipients marked Unavailable. This change will help mitigate some liability concerns for when you’re unavailable and can’t respond to messages — they can’t be sent to you.

Note: The following will still be sent if your status is Unavailable:

  • Any group chat messages, if you’re included in a group chat (three or more chat participants).

  • When you’re forwarding your messages.
