Group & Private Chat Messages

  • Group chats are set up and accessible by clicking on the chat icon on the Band App and also available on the Messages link on the website.
  • If you do not see the chat icon in the Band App menu sections on your device, you are not actually in the HFC-VIP group feed.
  • If you see a “home” icon in the Band App menus you are in your personal feed.
  • Like Facebook, you can see some info in your personal feed, but to see details and complete info you have to actually click to access the appropriate group feed…same principal with Band App.
  • LEAVE Band App chats by going to the chat settings and clicking Leave Chat.
  • Private chats are available by creating a chat and indicating it is a private chat on the Band App. You can create a private chat with one person or multiple people. Chats created on the website or obviously created as private unless you add additional people to a group message. The HFC-VIP Community Chat on the website is a group chat of all active members.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: NO POSTS ARE VISIBLE IN A BAND APP GROUP CHAT PRIOR TO A MEMBER JOINING THE GROUP CHAT!!
