You can chat with a friend one-to-one, or bring a group of people together in a study group.
Chatting with a friend
You can only chat with people you follow who follow you back. Tap Find friends from Study groups to see who you can follow. If someone needs to follow you back before you can chat, you'll see a Nudge button next to their name.
Once you follow each other, you'll be able to start a chat with them.
Starting a study group
Head to your Profile, scroll down to Your study groups, and tap the + button to bring several people together in one chat. You can also go to Study groups and tap + Study group at the top of the page, or Create study group at the bottom. See How do I make a study group? for the full setup.
See What can I do in a Gizmo chat? for everything you can do once you're chatting.
📝 If you're under 18, Chat is only available on a tablet or computer after school hours. It's always available on your phone, and unlocks automatically on tablet or computer once school's finished for the day. Still seeing the block after school hours? Get in touch and we'll take a look.
📝 If you're under 18, Chat is also turned off while you're connected to your school's network. This applies to both study groups and one-to-one chats. If you see "Chat is disabled while you're on your school's network" in a study group, you can still open any decks shared to the group using the link on that screen.
