Message Features

• Text formatting — Markdown supported in messages
• File attachments — send images, documents, and other files
• Emoji reactions — hover a message and click the smiley face to react with an emoji (thumbs up, heart, laugh, surprised, sad, fire)
• Read receipts — sent messages show checkmarks: one (sent), double gray (delivered), double green (read)
• Typing indicator — see when the other person is typing

Privacy

• You can disable outbound read receipts in Account Settings so others cannot see when you have read their messages
• Block a user to prevent them from messaging you
