# In-App Chat

Conversations are the heartbeat of community building—especially in a tight-knit community like ours. That’s why we’ve integrated a powerful **chat feature** into our app, enabling seamless connections between members.

With this feature, you can:

* **Search** for members in your conversations or group chats
* **Private message** any community member
* **Join public discussions** across different group chats
* **See who’s online** in real-time
* **Share** voice notes, photos, videos, audio, text, SMC points, and emojis
* **React to messages** with quick emoji responses

Its important to also note that our app comes with a powerful privacy feature.

Screenshots and screenrecording are now blocked in the chat section of the app, meaning all group and private conversations between Believers stay private — just as they should.
