Hey TZ team! Any progress/update here? I think this would make a big difference for group communication! Thanks!

I had to turn off the group comments because my clients sent a 👍🏻 In response to a post, and I ended up with 20 thumbs down the group feed. I would love to allow for more interaction within my groups, but the way it’s currently set up doesn’t provide an effective group feed, where a community is able to grow. My coaching content gets lost.

As much as I like autoposts for the workouts as encouragement, they make it impossible to have a conversation or answer questions within the chat because the entire chat is autoposts.

I would love to see them in separate side by side columns so participants can see the autoposts AND we can have a useable chat forum. I want any questions I answer and tips that I post to be visible for the next people who log on and I want group members to feel encouraged to chat and ask those questions.

Like Facebook comments. You should be able to have a thread of comments under a specific post.

Definitely would be a helpful feature! We're using Facebook groups now too, but not all our members are on Facebook.

We have a TON of clients using the healthystepsnutrition platform that are starting Facebook groups, what's app groups and using other apps because the Group Chat feature in Trainerize is so cumbersome.

Update the group chat feature to include the ability to:
1. Directly comment on another person's post rather than having to comment later on in the feed
2. Add more than one picture at a time

THESE UPDATES WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER AND WOULD MAKE THIS ALREADY AWESOME APP MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY.

For us - group interaction is HUGE by helping us spark engagement which helps keep clients longer.

Hi, can we get the direct message reply feature like on messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram?

This would be a game changer. Currently using WhatsApp with members because of the inline reply function.

This would make the chat way more powerful! Thanks for considering!

(IDEA)
I got one idea and this is also the feedback of my clients. Is it possible to add more features to the groups like in a facebook. Like direct responses to the messages, posts severals photos/ videos within one post, digital library/ document folders and a fat loss tracking for the whole group.
With those features I wouldn't need a separate Facebook and my clients got everything within their App.

Thanks for your help

I think it would be handy you have the direct reply features like in WhatsApp and other message apps

Get a read receipt for your messages and an ability to respond directly to a comment in the messenger.

Ability to a comment/reply thread to a post in groups

It would be easier to keep track of clients responses to certain messages if they were able to reply to a thread. It would also make the chat room less cumbersome.

in-line replies and auto save message drafts

When someone sents a message in the group. A feature which allows you to “reply” to that specific message will be useful.

Chat needs to allow for direct responses to specific messages. It would make interacting with clients so much easier.

Message threads and hashtags in messages would add so much value. Right now I'm looking at creating multiple groups to combat this issue, but that too seems clumsy.

When in a group it would be nice to answer on that comment instead of doing @sosoandso

I have 52 ladies in my 6 week challenge and not everyone has Facebook so this group chat has really saved me from having to be on both platforms. The ladies primarily use this to share pics and chat, but it's a mess and so much gets lost! I've even created several groups to keep the topics separate, but it's still a lot! I would recommend following the app slack format to create threads, or the new iphone feature where you can reply to a specific message.

Challenge group of 51 women and when someone posts a question, progress, pictures... it creates a long line of all different conversations rather than seeing all the replies to that post together. Im thinking similar set up to The app “slack” would be awesome
