Messages and chats

Message players and courts, and chat with your clubs, open plays and tournaments. Start a new message, filter your chats, and open them from any page.

  1. 1. Your chats

    • Open Messages in your account. Every chat is in one list, newest first: players, courts, and the clubs, open plays and tournaments you joined. Joining one puts you in its chat.
    • The OpenCourt chat stays pinned at the top. Write there for help.
    • Filters narrows the list to Players, Clubs, Open plays, Tournaments or Courts, or searches by name.
    Every chat in one list, the open one beside it.
  2. 2. Start a new message

    • Tap New message and type a player's name or @handle, or a court's name or city. Pick one to open the chat.
    • Players you've played with or share a club with get it straight away. Anyone else gets it as a request, under Requests at the top of their chats: they tap Accept to reply, or Block or Report.
    New message finds players and courts.
  3. 3. Chat

    • Type in the box and tap Send. Add an emoji from the face button.
    • Report sends a chat to OpenCourt to check. Block stops a player from messaging you. Who can message you is set in Edit profile, under Privacy.
    Your chat, with Report and Block.
  4. 4. Chats on any page

    • The chat button at the bottom right opens your chats on any page, with the same tabs and search.
    • Write a new message from the pencil at the top, or tap a chat to answer without leaving the page.
    The chat panel opens on any page.
