What's the difference between a personal chat, group chat and public channel?

Last updated on 15 Nov, 2025

Inside our Chat, you'll see there are 3 different types of chats you can create - choose the one that best suits your needs!

Personal Chat
A private 1:1 chat between you and one other member.

Group Chat
Private group chats are only visible to group members. Others can only find and join if they are invited by a group member. Best for friends, Study Groups or ‘invite only’ Interest Groups.

Public Channel
Public, searchable and visible to all members. Anyone who finds your channel can join. Use the search to check if a similar channel already exists before creating a new one.
