You will be able to step away from a chat and keep it safe.

2 min read Always free

Good news. You do not have to delete a chat to leave it.

When you stop typing and walk away, the chat stays put. It waits for you.

You can start a new chat or close the app. Your old chat is still saved in your list.

Nothing is lost just because you stepped away. It will be there when you come back.

Try this
  1. Stop typing whenever you like. Nothing bad happens.
  2. To begin fresh, start a new chat.
  3. Your old chat moves into your list of chats.
  4. Come back to it any time by tapping its name.

Closing the app does not erase a chat. Only the delete button removes one.
