Trip chat basics

Every Limbo trip has a group chat where your crew talks through the plan, shares photos, runs quick polls, and even votes on ballots right in the conversation.

Everyone on the trip can use chat: sending, replying, reacting, photos, and polls are open to all crew members, not just organizers. Chat switches on once a trip has at least two crew members (children don't count toward that). You can only edit or delete your own messages, and only a poll's creator can close it.

Open chat

1. 1
   From Home, tap the chat bubble on a trip card. A red badge on the bubble shows how many messages you haven't read.
2. 2
   Or open the trip and tap the pinned Chat circle beside the crew avatar at the top of the Hub.

Opening the chat marks its messages as read, so the badge clears.

Send, reply, and react

1. 1
   Type your message and tap send.
2. 2
   To reply to something specific, long-press the message and choose Reply. A "Reply to…" strip appears above the composer, tap its X if you change your mind.
3. 3
   To react, long-press a message and tap an emoji. Reactions show as small chips under the bubble; tap a chip to add or remove your own reaction.

Edit or delete your own messages

You can only edit or delete messages you sent.

1. 1
   Long-press one of your messages.
2. 2
   Tap Edit to load the text back into the composer. Make your change, then tap the checkmark to save (the message shows an "(edited)" note) or the X to cancel.
3. 3
   Tap Delete and confirm to remove the message.

Share photos

1. 1
   Tap + next to the composer and choose Photo.
2. 2
   Allow photo access if your device asks, then pick an image. A "Sending photo…" chip shows while it uploads.
3. 3
   Tap any photo in the chat to view it full screen.

Run a poll

Anyone on the trip can create a poll, handy for quick calls that don't need a formal ballot.

1. 1
   Tap + and choose Poll.
2. 2
   Type your question and at least two options. Tap Add option for more (up to six).
3. 3
   Turn on Allow multiple answers if people can pick more than one option.
4. 4
   Tap Create to post the poll into the chat.

To vote, tap an option; tap it again to take your vote back. Results update live for everyone. When you're done collecting answers, long-press the poll and choose Close poll, then confirm. The bars freeze as final results. Only the person who created the poll can close it.

For availability questions, tap Availability poll in the poll sheet. It fills in a "Which dates work best?" question with suggested dates and turns on multiple answers so everyone can pick all the dates that work.

Turn a chat idea into a plan

If a message, link, or photo should become part of the itinerary, long-press it and choose Propose as plan. Limbo opens the add-plan flow with the message text or photo link prefilled as a note, so you can clean it up and save it as a real plan.

Link a plan into the conversation

1. 1
   Type / as the first character of a message. A plan picker pops up and filters as you keep typing.
2. 2
   Tap a plan to attach it, or use + → Link a plan instead. The plan shows as a chip on the composer; tap its X to remove it.
3. 3
   Send the message. The plan appears as a card in the chat.
4. 4
   Tap the card to open the plan's details right there, without leaving the conversation.

Vote on ballots in chat

When a linked plan is up for a vote, it appears as a ballot card instead of a plain plan card. Any crew member can vote, voting is never organizer-only.

• Tap Yes, No, or Abstain to cast your vote. Tap a different choice to change it while the ballot is open.
• On open ballots you see the running tally and an approval bar. On sealed ballots the tally stays hidden until the reveal, you only see who has voted so far and your own choice.
• When the ballot resolves, the card flips to the reveal: the verdict stamp, the final tally, and who didn't vote.

See who's in the chat

Tap the crew pill in the header to open the crew sheet: everyone on the trip, with an "Organizer" chip next to organizers. Organizer changes happen only from the Edit Trip crew sheet; see Organizers and your crew for details.

Unread badges and typing

• Trip cards on Home show a red unread count on the chat bubble, so you can see at a glance where the conversation moved.
• While someone is writing, a typing indicator with animated dots appears above the composer and fades a few seconds after they stop.
