Your suggestions make a lot of sense @Julybil
(I didn't want to go over in-game voice chat in the original post, since I thought updating the typing system wouldn't be such a big update)
The developer team has confirmed that there will be a new squad system coming out this summer! I hope they will also improve the communication within your squad with that system. It would be cool if you were placed in a proper squad and can communicate with them if you like.
The game, however, is a family game, so options for turning of squad talking should be definitely an option. If I wish not to communicate, that should be an option, just as you have stated.
I also want to quickly state, that even if voice communication is added, the typing system on PC still needs work. Gettin real tired from every UI layer placing over the type box.
@DYSPROssium You are right on the UI layer placing over the type box, I find this also annoying. I have noticed this is not the only problem with the in-game typing. I have also experienced that the messages in the top right corner did not fade away after an amount of time and that the new messages did not even pop up. For this reason I sometimes missed an important message. For example, I had one guy asking to me to choose a specific hero, because he had a challenge to complete. However the message did not show up and therefore I had chosen the "wrong" hero. I hope this will also improve.
Talking about the squad system, I would really like to see that EA/Dice do more than only fixing and updating this communication system. I want to feel rewarded for playing in a team with bonuses, achievements and being stronger on the battlefield. Making vehicles capable of having more than one player inside of it will massively improve this experience. This idea of the squad system needs to have a separate topic, because it is not a side note but an important game changing topic. @EA_Ataashi

I'll bite...
You're aware there are 3 modes of chat, one of which hides the messages, right? If you're on PC, it's fairly easy to press the "H" key erroneously and mess up chat.
You probably already know - just checking.
