The Chat feature on Currently lets you move from public vibes to private conversations — instantly.
Whether you’ve just discovered someone interesting, want to follow up on a moment, or reconnect with a friend, Chat is your space for real-time, one-on-one connection.


📥 Where to Find the Chat Feature

  • Tap the Chat icon 💬 in the bottom navigation bar
    This opens your Inbox, where all your current and past conversations live.


✉️ How to Start a New Chat

You can start a conversation with:

  • Anyone you follow

  • Anyone who follows you

  • Anyone whose moment you’ve interacted with
    (if their privacy settings allow it)

To start a chat:

  1. Go to the user’s profile or tap their name on a moment.

  2. Tap the Message button 💬.

  3. Type your message and hit Send ➤.

That’s it — your private chat is now active!


🧵 What You Can Do in Chat

Once inside a chat, you can:

  • Send text messages

  • React to messages with emojis

  • View a person’s current or recent moments directly from the chat

  • See if they’re active now (if status is enabled)

Voice notes, media sharing, and group chats are coming soon!


🔔 Notifications

When you receive a new message:

  • You’ll get a push notification (if enabled)

  • A red dot appears on the Chat icon

  • Inside your inbox, the conversation appears at the top


🚫 Privacy & Control

  • You can block or report any user from within the chat if needed

  • If someone sends unwanted messages, just tap ‘⋮’ > Block or Report

  • You can also delete a chat thread from your inbox — but it only removes it for you

Currently respects your boundaries. You always control who can message you.
