Messaging

Learn about chats, connections, and communication features.

How do I start a conversation with someone?
Tap Message on their profile if their messaging privacy allows it. Otherwise, send a connection request and start chatting once they accept.
How do I send photos and media in messages?
Tap the pictures icon in the message box to attach photos or videos. You can also send voice messages.
How do I know if someone is online?
A green dot on someone's profile photo means they were active in the last 2 hours. It only appears if they have Show Activity Status on, and you can change yours in Settings.
Can I delete messages after sending them?
Yes. Press and hold your message and tap Delete; both of you will see "Message deleted." You cannot delete the other person's messages, but you can delete the conversation on your side.
Can I message anyone?
You can send a connection request to anyone. If their messaging privacy is Anyone, you can message them right away; if it is Friends Only, they must accept first. Change yours in Settings > Messaging Privacy.
How do I know if someone read my message?
Neer Social doesn't have read receipts, so no one can see when you've read a message.
How do I delete a conversation?
Press and hold the conversation in Messages and tap Delete. It's removed from your view only and stays in Recently Deleted for 30 days before it's permanently removed.
Can I message someone before they accept my connection request?
It depends on their messaging privacy. If it is Anyone, you can message them right away; if it is Friends Only, you need to wait until they accept.
How do group chat invitations work?
Friends are added directly to regular group chats and do not need to accept.
Do group and event chats work the same way?
Regular group chats add friends directly and stay until you leave or delete them. Event invitations require acceptance; event chats close when the event ends and allow anonymous participation.
