In group chats, you can reply to messages in threads to keep content organised and discussions focused. This allows you to discuss specific topics without notifying uninvolved group members.
Start or reply to a thread
Mobile

- Type your reply in the input box and send it.
Desktop
- Hover over or right-click the message you want to reply to and select ‘Reply in Thread’, or click the ‘xx replies’ section below the message for existing threads.

- Type your reply in the input box and send it.
Follow/Unfollow a thread
By default, you’ll automatically follow every thread you participate in or are mentioned in. Once followed, it will:
- Trigger notifications if you haven’t muted the specific chat.
- Count towards your unread message count.
- Display a “Following” status on your thread page.
- Include you in the thread follower count.
- Appear in your “My Threads” list.
You can manually follow/unfollow a thread at any time from the specific thread, or unfollow a thread from the “My Threads” list.
Follow/Unfollow from the specific thread
- Open the thread.
- Click the ‘...’ at the top-right corner to open the thread-level action menu.
- Select the 'Follow/Unfollow' option.
Unfollow a thread from the “My Threads” list
- Open the “My Threads” list.
- Click the ‘...’ at the top-right corner of each thread card to open the thread-level action menu.
- Select the 'Unfollow' option.
Auto follow all new threads in a group
You can set it to automatically follow all new threads in a group chat. This will apply at the individual level and will not change your follow status for threads that already exist.
- Open the chat details page of the group chat.
- Toggle the ‘Auto Follow Threads’ setting on.
View all followed threads in a group
You can view all your followed threads in a group chat under the 'My Threads' list, accessible via the ‘My threads’ icon in the chatroom title bar. Threads with the most recent replies will appear at the top.
The total number of unread thread replies will be shown on the 'My Threads' icon when there are unread replies in your followed threads. For muted chats, it will be replaced with a red dot.
View follower details of a thread
From the thread page, you can view details of group members who are currently following the thread by selecting the 'View Thread Followers' option from the thread-level action menu.
