📨 How do private chats work?

Want to talk to someone you just beat (or who beat you — it happens to the best of us)? The Private Chats tab in the bottom menu holds all your conversations. Every chat is 1-on-1 — just you and one other player.

Sending messages

Each message can be up to 240 characters — plenty of room for some friendly post-match banter.

Text accepts common mobile-keyboard punctuation, including iPhone smart quotes and Hebrew geresh/gershayim. When enabled, confirmed friends can also send each other voice notes and images.

Gifts you send or receive show up right inside the chat too, so the conversation tells the whole story.

While the other player is writing, a small typing indicator appears at the bottom of the conversation. It disappears automatically when they stop, send, leave the chat or lose connection.

Pinning important chats

Press and hold a conversation in the chat list to pin or unpin it. Pinned chats stay at the top, and you can pin up to 3 at a time.

Sent and read

Your outgoing messages show a receipt icon. It turns blue after the other player reads the message — but only while both players have Read Receipts enabled in Settings. Turn yours off and read status is hidden in both directions.

Never miss a message

New message? You'll see an unread badge on the Private Chats tab, and a push notification reaches you even when the app is closed.

Deleting one message for everyone

Press and hold your own sent text, voice or image message and confirm Delete to replace it with “This message was deleted” for both players. The feature can be switched off, and it works only inside the current server-set time limit — currently no longer than 48 hours after sending.

Deleting a chat

Deleting a chat only hides it from your list — the history isn't erased, and if a new message arrives, the conversation pops right back into your list.

Deleting a message and deleting the chat are different: message deletion affects both players; deleting the chat list entry affects only you.
