Chat

The Chat window allows you to communicate with players of your own FACTION or communicate with all players under CROSS-FACTION chat.

Most of the communication within your team will most likely happen on a separate app, but the in-game chat will be the first point of call to reach out to anybody.

Communities all over the world use different apps; Discord, Telegram, Slack, Wechat, the list is endless.

To find out what your locals use, ask in Faction Comms.

Tagging another agent in your message is VITALLY important in ensuring they get your message. To do this, tap their agent name, and select message. Alternatively, you can type in their agent name with a ’@’ in front of it. This will allow you to tag multiple agents at once.

Deciding which chat to post in is crucial. Posting in the Faction chat is a great way to contact your own team, you can ask for help, get recruited into your local faction chat or communicate on the fly.

Note

Only your team can read Faction chat

If you post in Cross-faction chat, the opposing team will be able to see everything you post. “Lets farm at the post office tonight” posted in Cross-Faction will tell everyone that you are low on gear and they can come and Smash your farm, resulting in no gear for you or your fellow agents.

Note

All agents can read Cross Faction chat

Be sure to keep conversations respectful and use age-appropriate language. Refer to the Niantic Player Guidelines for more information on protocol
