hes talking about the new chat service since it allows or disallows privacy settings such as safety for under 13s

i have not checked the rule changes but id assume so considering the whole new chat system was about these saftery features

That makes sense.

#

I guess the best solution is to make custom chat UI, rather than a new system

Is it possible to only turn off the Chat Icon?

Hey! I want to hide the chat button in my game without actually disabling it. How can I do it? I need the chat to be still enabled but the Icon should not be visible.

#

bam

#

not even a minute of searching

#

thats the point

chat icon and chat inputbox are two separate things in 2025 (based on my debugging)

yes, and if you paid attention you would soon realize putting

game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType,false)```
into your environment to see if the forum post from 2021 still holds up to this day would ACTUALLY give you the answer, in which case: NO, hence this thread
