Send messages

Messages are how you talk in Latte — in a group channel with your class or team, or one-to-one in a private chat. Every message you send shows up for everyone in the conversation instantly, on every device.

🖥 Web
📱 Mobile

Open Chats from the navigation and select a conversation — a group channel or a name under Direct Messages.

Click the message field at the bottom (it reads Message) and type what you want to say.

{
  "id": "web.chat-and-messaging.send-messages.input-field",
  "platform": "web",
  "route": "/chats",
  "actions": [
    {
      "pom": {
        "page": "ChatPage",
        "call": "openFirstGroupChannel"
      }
    },
    {
      "fill": {
        "testId": "text-channel-input",
        "value": "See you at the library at 2pm ☕"
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "testId": "text-channel-input-field",
    "pad": 12
  }
}

Press Enter (or click the Send icon) to send. To add a new line instead of sending, press Shift+Enter.

On the Latte desktop app

The desktop app is the same chat — messages you send there sync to your phone and the web instantly.

Open the Chats tab and open a conversation.

Tap the message field (Message) and type your message.

      }
    }
  ]
}

Tap the send button to send it.

tip

When the message field is empty, the send button becomes a microphone — press and hold it to record a quick voice note instead of typing.

Good to know

A message needs at least one visible character — Latte won't send a blank or spaces-only message. You can drop in emojis and GIFs or attach files and photos before you send.
