What Is “Quick Chat” in Among Us?

Among Us introduced Quick Chat as a safe, text‑based communication system that lets players convey essential information without typing full sentences. It replaces the traditional open chat with a set of pre‑written phrases and emojis, making it easier for younger audiences and for those who prefer a faster way to talk during a match.

Understanding how to make the most of this feature can dramatically improve your crew’s coordination and help impostors stay hidden.

How to Enable Quick Chat

  3. Navigate to the Gameplay tab.
  4. Find the Chat Mode option and choose Quick Chat.
  5. Confirm your selection and return to the lobby.

Once enabled, the usual text box disappears and a set of icons appears at the bottom of the screen during meetings and emergency discussions.

Customizing Quick Chat Slots

While the default list covers most scenarios, you can rearrange the most frequently used phrases to suit your play style.

  2. Tap the Settings icon that appears next to the Quick Chat wheel.
  3. Drag and drop phrases into the slots you want to access quickly.
  4. Save your changes before exiting the menu.

For example, placing “I saw Red vent” in the top slot lets you report suspicious activity with a single tap.
