Chat on Hold: Party Chat not available

[timarisunflower]

@EA_Kipling Please look into this, my game just started glitching after starting a wedding party open to friends only. I keep getting a message saying that chat is unavailable, but to chat with those on my friends list was the whole purpose of me opening a party and just for friends. I’m using a IPhone SE (the new one that came out this year) and just updated to IOS 14.1, I have the current update of sims mobile. One of my posts on this thread has two screen shots of what is happening in my game.

@EA_Kipling  Here is another screen shot of what is going on with the party chat issue.

Yesterday I got the ‘chat on hold’ message when starting a party open for everyone. This was first time I got the message since my previous post and with an open party.

The chat was gone for 3 hours for me but I can see that at least 2 guests saw the chat for a while when they joined the party. Hopefully this will get fixed in the update 🤞

Hosted a friends only party yesterday and the chat was there for the first time since September (in a friends only party). I didn’t get the ‘chat on hold’ notification and for me the chat was working.  Hopefully this means something good and is permanent. 😊

I think now it was doing at least some ‘loading’ for some of the guests since maybe half of them were shown joining in the party chat.
