Hey, Pals!
James here from the product team with exciting updates to enhance your experience on Paltalk. We’ve been busy adding features and improvements based on your feedback, and here’s what’s new:
Introducing @Mentions 🌟
Ever wish you could grab someone’s attention instantly in a busy chat room? Now you can! We’ve rolled out a nifty little feature that lets you easily mention individuals or even whole groups, so nobody misses a beat!
• @all 📢 (Room admins only): Big news or important update? Type @all to notify everyone following your room; perfect for announcements, events, or when you’ve got something big to share!
• @here 🎯: Want to highlight your message for everyone currently active in the chat room? @here will make sure all online users see your message clearly.
• @admins 🛡️: Need the room admins’ attention pronto? @admins will send notifications directly to the room’s admins.
Stay in Control 🔔
(Note: You’ll only receive mentions from rooms you follow!)
We love staying connected, but nobody enjoys notification overload; With @Mentions, you’re always in charge:
- • Mute as you go: Tweak your settings per room or mute all mention notifications for 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours, or even forever!
- • No more clutter: Easily spot unread mentions with highlighted badges. Jump directly to messages mentioning you.
- • Say bye-bye to spam: Blocked someone? You won’t see mentions from users you’ve blocked. Plus, we’ve got smart limits to quietly handle excessive mentions.
Try it out now! 🚀
Join your favorite chat room, type ‘@’, and explore how mentions instantly transform your chat experience. Connect quicker, communicate smarter, and stay engaged without the fuss.
🕶️ Invisible Status: Join Rooms Privately!
You asked – we listened! Previously, selecting ‘Invisible’ status prevented you from joining chat rooms. That’s now changed!
- • Now, when your status is ‘Invisible‘, you can freely enter chat rooms without changing to Online or Away status.
- • Your privacy remains intact: you’ll still appear offline on people’s pal lists while visible within the room’s member list.
🚧 Sneak Peek: Features in Development!
Here’s a quick look at some exciting new features we’re working on:
- • Distinct Admin Icons in Chat Rooms: Owners, Super-Admins, and Admins will soon have unique icons, making it easy to spot them at a glance.
- • Improved Mic Queue Controls: Admins will have better control of the mic queue, allowing quick reordering; move a user up, down, or send to next or last in the queue.
- • Color Fonts for Users: Add a splash of color to your chat! Soon, you can personalize your text with color in chat rooms and direct messages.
