How to turn off text chat

How do I turn off the in game text chat that pops up while playing? It gets so toxic and abusive users insult or try to anyway but you get the **** symbols. So Id like to turn it off but can't find it anywhere in the games menu on series X

  • Go into the online privacy settings of the Xbox, not the game, and block the one for text/communications from outside Xbox.

  • Just came up with a solution for PS5.  Requires losing access to the full map using the D pad though.

    Go to options > controller mapping > map the D pad (main touch pad on controller) to ‘toggle chat’. Do this for each of the ‘common, on foot, gunner’ etc. then go to controller tab > controller schemes and change to ‘custom’  for ‘on foot’ ‘’vehicles’ etc. 

    when the text chat pops up you then can tap the d pad and it will hide. In bf2042 I found the full map not to be very useful and it’s the only key bind I can afford to use. Hope this helps some folks enjoy the game more!

  • Make sure to report them in the squad/player menu if they are being abusive, racist, or toxic! Dice seems to be taking that kind of behavior pretty seriously since they are pushing the "battlefield for everyone" thing.
