#1 I'd like a "X_player is typing..." indicator and
#2 as a paying customer demand not to be kicked out of the text chat box when all players disconnect or after death.
#3 Being able to send messages to players after they leave a match could work if there is a simple indicator that there are new messages from that chat and player. If declined, that chat (random group for example) would be disconnected for good.
#4 Seamless party chat would be useful too.
EDIT: This is still an issue in March 2021. #2 is a major frustration. Closing the chat box disrupts communications and makes me the opposite of happy. Voice chat is not affected by this. So, text chat should not either.

What about tabs/groups of text chat?! That are persistent through out the games (lobby and in game).
- when you join the squad, you join a "group chat" that is always the same. Through character select until the squad is disbanded. With no resets when you are killed, or screen change.
- Allow mute to chat of specific players.
- Allow tabs of whispers to be created and persist, between in game and lobby.
- Option to "do not create new whisp tabs during games".
How to whisper?!
/whisp "name of player" "message"
This creates a tab, and both can communicate.
Pressing "escape" and "mouse click" the name of the player can also create a whisp tab.

@MythBringerThis sounds a lot like SWTOR. I like it.
No disrespect intended toward the QA team, but I doubt they even use text chat at all during play testing. It is INCREDIBLY frustrating to use text chat in Apex Legends toward the beginning and end of games.
If and when I rage at Apex, 9 times out of 10 it's because r5apex.exe stole what I was typing just before I was ready to send it.
You know there is a problem when it is easier to type in an external program and copy-paste it into the text chat. At least then you will not be interrupted.
The status quo encourages extremely quick typing or short messages. If you want more than "gg" or "nt" out of me, then don't steal my %^#&ing text, Apex.

Bump. This is still a problem in March 2021.
