There might be a time when an owner of a group may want or need to disable group chat. An owner may want to turn this off from the outset before members join the group or this may be something that is on and working well until it suddenly needs to be disabled due to something coming up in group chat. By default, group chats are enabled, however disabling a group chat is easy to do. Here’s how:
1. From your group home screen, open your menu and choose Group Settings from the options.
2. From your list of settings, choose Privacy.
3. At the top of the screen, you will see Enable Group Chat toggled on. To disable your group chat, toggle this setting to the off position.
4. Once disabled, you will see a Group Chat is Disabled message on the bottom of your group chat screen where there normally would have been a text box. At this point, you have successfully disabled group chat.
