The "chat" function in teams was recently changed to "news" as a part of an initiative to ensure that all features in Soda follows an accessibility standard (in short terms, to make it as accessible for all types of players).
I understand though that this may not be super nice for teams that primarily had their communications in this section of the game. I hope that you can connect outside of the game like here on the forum to continue bonding as a team when you're not playing.

So, are you telling us that we can’t communicate with our team members inside the game anymore? That doesn’t seem like a good idea! My team is very communicative together, so this is a BIG problem!!

Sorry, but this is a terrible decision. We have players from all over with no issues and many don't enter the community here. They play to enjoy the game, not the games played here 🙄 We need to be able to share!! Having a tab labeled "news" that has NO function / purpose is ridiculous. There is nothing there and nothing can be entered. Exactly who is supposed to use this "news" tab? 🤷♀️🤦♀️

You will still be able to request and send lives and see updates for the team as per previously, but as you say here, the text is currently now unavailable. I'm sorry to hear that blocks the team communication but thank you for posting your feedback here on the forum so I can report it to the studio.
As mentioned to Smessyrn above, you should still have some functionality in the news tab to be able to help your teammates and get updates on the team. You're free to share you thoughts here though, and if you have any suggestions otherwise on how the news tab can be improved.

The communication function is a core value in the Team Activity.
The Studio has decided to remove this function, it will be the first nightmare to all players in 2025.
Many online game which needs the cooperation of every player has this function to add value to the game, but this core value of team activity has been removed from Candy Crush Soda. I don't know how to comment this decision.
"I hope that you can connect outside of the game like here on the forum to continue bonding as a team when you're not playing." After removing this function, it is encouraging players to use other instant communication app to fill the gap, it is very ridiculous!😂🤣

After reading all of the many concerns from players regarding this poor decision to remove our access to teams, I am wondering what the motivation could be to remove the chat feature. First in Friends (after which we lost many long-time players) and now in Soda. What change in players is King trying to achieve? It will not earn them more money. Many team players are NOT community members and don't care to be. In fact, players may leave King games and choose games where they can communicate freely with their team, not in a community where the everything is monitored. What does the community care about our in-game conversations? One should not have anything to do with the other.

I’m sad to see team chat changed to news. @LoFiGummy You said that the studio has big plans for 2025. I hope this change wasn’t one of them.
I’m back to liking this game less and less 🍏🤪6 -
this is horrible. These systems really dont want people to communicate. Interesting how, as tiktok is going away, so is any communication in other aps. I suspect government censorship. They dont want us to communicate.

@LoFiGummy I was very saddened to see our team chat go only to see "News" which serves no purpose at all. This is a very poor replacement for our team chat, and will upset many players. I speak from a team from which many members are NOT in the Community and therefore will feel cut off and isolated. This will affect their general team experience, possibly Soda in general in the way of playing.
I feel this is a very negative move by the Studio.
Personally the "chat" feature meant inclusion and a way to support others, now I feel the whole team thing has lost that connectivity. It has mattered to me as I am sure it will to others.
If others have prompted this change via unkind remarks I understand. However I feel it unfair to judge and punish innocent players.
