Block Secure Chat Messages in One-on-One Conversations

For All Secure Chat Users
Block Secure Chat Messages in One-on-One Conversations 
Effective Thursday, Sept. 2

Starting Thursday, Sept. 2, changing your Secure Chat status to Unavailable prevents anyone from sending you messages in one-on-one conversations. This also prevents you from sending Secure Chat messages. 

This change mitigates some liability concerns for not responding to messages when you’re not available – they simply can’t be sent to you.

Note: messages can still be sent to you in group messages (three or more chat participants) or when you are forwarding your messages.
