How to Chat in Heartopia
It’s important to note that the Chat feature can only be seen between you and those on your friend list. Random players you encounter cannot see any messages you type unless you add them as a friend or they send you a request.
But yes, chatting does exist in Heartopia! There are also emotes you can use, as well as Friend Emotes and emoticon stamps – plenty of ways to communicate with friends. Each message has a character limit, so try not to make your sentences too long.
The speech bubbles remain on screen for a few seconds before disappearing. When you or another player is typing, a little speech bubble with three dots appears to let them know you’re in the process of writing out a message.
How to Unlock the Chat Feature
To unlock the Chat feature, you need to accept your first friend request, or have someone else accept a request you send! Once you have another player on your friend list, you automatically unlock the Chat feature.
Simply press the Enter key on your keyboard if you’re on PC, or select the speech bubble icon when playing on mobile. Type out the message you want to send, and the speech bubble appears above your character’s head!
Unlocking the friends list requires you to continue through the initial quests at the start of the game, as you slowly unlock more apps for your in-game mobile phone. In Heartopia, the friends list is known as the Friendship Journal.

By interacting with players on your friend list, you can increase your Friendship Level. Performing one of the 2-person friendship emotes rewards you with Friendship Marks, which is how you level Friendship up. The higher your level, the more emotes you unlock.
