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, tap the ⋯ menu in the top corner, and choose Chat.

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.

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. If you're an organizer, this sheet is also where you promote or demote co-organizers; see Organizers and your crew for what those buttons do.

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.
