# Using Public Text Chat

### **Sending Messages:**

* **On Desktop:** Click the Public Text Chat input field at the bottom left of the viewport or press the Enter/Return key on your keyboard. Type your message and press Enter or click the send button to post your message.
* **On Mobile and Tablet:** Tap the input field at the bottom of the screen. Type your message and tap the send button to post your message.

## **Guidelines and Notes:**

* **Links:** For security and community standards, links are banned from the public text chat. If you need to send a link to a user, the [Party Text Chat](/communication/party-chat/party-text-chat.md) allows this.
* **Profanity:** Profanity is automatically filtered and displayed as \[Redacted] to maintain a respectful environment.
* **Unsent Messages:** If you click away from the Public Text Chat input, your unsent message will be deleted.
* **Emoji Support:** Currently, emoji support is handled by your device. Enhanced functionality for emojis, stickers, and gifs will be available in future updates.

## Benefits of using the Public Text Chat:

* **Real-Time Communication:** Engage in instant written communication with other users, facilitating quick exchanges of information and ideas.
* **Accessible:** Easily access the text chat input on both desktop and mobile/tablet devices.
* **Moderated Environment:** Enjoy a moderated chat environment with automatic filtering of links and profanity, ensuring a safe and respectful communication space.
* **Future Enhancements:** Look forward to enhanced emoji, sticker, and gif support for richer and more expressive communication.
