    Totally agree @MollyS

    Chat is wonderful. Or it was before it was removed! It’s a reason to be in a team….we chat, we’re a team and we encourage each other….Not any more apparently. Why has it been removed

    Hey there @MollyS & @jeanps,

    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 πŸ™„ 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? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

    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.

  • Why is the chat feature being taken off teams,how are we supposed to interact with each other, I cannot talk to my friends because the chat has been taken away,please put this right

    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!πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    My other question is why did you split the team feature for Bake a Cake up into 2 places instead of leaving it all in one place? This is very much a time-wasting change!

    I don't know how to answer your question as I am not one of the programmers in the Studio. But programmers have to follow the decision made by their boss.

    Different kinds of people make different kinds of decisions. Smart guy has a smart decision. So what kind of person you think he is?😜

    Removing the chat function in team activity is the first provocative changes in 2025
