The PocketPlatform Chat now extends beyond groups. You can set up and manage dedicated chat conversations based on audiences. For example, you might have a chat for this month's Food Pantry Volunteers or a chat for Parents of Middle School Kids. Of course, groups can have their own conversations as long as you set up an audience for each one. (We'll set up audiences for your current groups!)

Audience conversations: There's a new All Conversations screen in PocketPlatform where app users can see the chats they're part of. There's one conversation per audience, and all members can participate equally.

Moderating messages: PocketPlatform admins can now moderate chat conversations. When needed, you can hide a message from everyone in the conversation. To do this in the app, press and hold the message to moderate until you see the popup. To do this within MinistryPlatform, go to Audience Chat, launch the tool, then select the message(s) for moderation. You can also view all conversations under PocketPlatform > Chat Message Log.

What about our existing group chats? Don't worry, we'll migrate all group chats by automatically creating audiences for your groups. It will be a seamless transition!

Already thinking of who might need a conversation? You can go ahead and set up any audiences that should have a chat channel. See Audiences for details and steps. We're working on updating the Chat help topics, so check back later for more information.

If you integrate with MP eGiving, there's a new giving recipe you can add to your app dashboard. It prompts logged-in users who do not regularly give to re-engage. For more information, see Quick Give in PocketPlatform.
