    @WTF_Huitzo If you mean push to talk, its a setting we all have for our own mics, at least on PC. I don't know about console.

    If you mean muting your teammates, there's a button on the legend select screen that you can press to mute them. There's also a gameplay setting that blocks communication from everyone, or those who aren't your friend. There's also the manual mute on the squad tab while in a match. Its next to the report, block, and mute ping buttons.

    @Skimpp So, you saw the mobile chat while in AS servers? I saw the chat while in the NA servers. What happens in different regions in terms of the chat, is something I don't know much about as I'm not in other region's servers. If I did end up in one, I wouldn't know the language, so not like I would know what they're saying anyways.

    This kind of chat could just very well be an optional thing. I would personally have it off at all times.

      @Midnight9746 but without the chat feature, how would someone find someone to play with? I find little to no friends from solely the post-match add friend feature through the teammates' banner in the lobby.

      It seems like in Apex mobile, the global chat is set to continent, so my global chat is mostly from Asia and it is mostly English and I don't see any big issue other than a few players selling cheats that are easily banned upon reported.

      I don't think not making chat feature just because of those few players makes sense. Respawn can simply unsend any sentence with a word starting with 'c' ends with 't', or starting with 'b' ends with 't' as a very simple solution to filter {cheat, boost} and any similar words. Not having friends to play Apex with is IMO a bigger issue as even pros can't even solo que.

      How do you find friends to play with btw? Bcs I know a lot of people who dont have friends to play with, especially the low skilled players bcs most of the time no one add them back post-match.

        @Skimpp I don't find friends to play with. I just solo que. Most of the randoms I get are toxic anyways. I'm so glad that Respawn added the option to auto mute teammates.
