Add disable all text chat feature, please god?

When I'm playing on my Xbox One and someone uses text chat it freezes my game for almost a full second... which is great when I'm in a firefight and my teammate gets knocked and he's mad that I wasn't nut hugging him and he got himself killed and decides to talk trash to me in text chat. I went to open a door and suddenly I can't see or do anything. This is a pretty simple feature I would think considering you can already do it person by person... but I don't want to have to start every match by going to all of my teammates and disabling their text chat for the rest of the time I play the game.

  • @NV_Tantei You can disable it if you mute the person. I also think this lag is from the text being converted to audio. Is this feature turned on or off for you?

    @SolitaryMassacre It’s possible that it is, I’ll have to check once I’m home tonight but if we assume I wanted to not have any incoming chat from voice or text (I.e. to prevent trash talking since that’s 99% of the time the only thing they use it for) why can I disable all voice chat and not do it with text? But I will definitely check that this evening because that would be a lifesaver when they do use text chat ❤️
  • @NV_TanteiYou can turn voice chat volume all the way down in settings so you won’t have to worry about voice chat but it can be frustrating to have to manually mute text chat every single game... you can click mute squad during character selection or do it manually while in game, you just need to go into your inventory and over to the squads tab

  • Good News!

    THANK YOU RESPAWN/EA

    note: ‘’everyone’’ is referring to your random teammates and not everyone in the entire lobby like on COD, there has been confusion about that on Reddit

    @TheApexLegendNub I can already mute my teammates every match vocally in the settings but honestly vocal trash talking I can block out even if it’s annoying and interferes with my sound… but I can also adjust my sound settings to lower their voice volume… the problem isn’t that I don’t want them chatting or talking trash I just don’t want it to freeze my game up when they do it and I’m in the middle of combat. You can maybe see why that would be an issue? Especially in ranked… the funny thing is I’ve looked up information on this infant places and there IS an option to turn off incoming text being converted to voice chat on PC but there is not that option on Xbox 1 for some reason. So while that’s likely the issue there’s no setting option I can choose to remedy it aside from manually blocking all teammate text chat in my pregame selection settings… why is the setting there for pc and not Xbox I cannot possibly understand, it’s an already coded feature of the games settings

    @SolitaryMassacre It likely is the conversion thing causing it but ironically there’s a setting to disable it on pc apex but not on my console. No clue why they feel the need to give them this option but not extend it to others…
