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.
Why Use Quick Chat?
Quick Chat offers several advantages:
- Speed – select a message in a few taps.
- Safety – eliminates inappropriate language.
- Clarity – standard phrases reduce misunderstandings.
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
- Launch Among Us and go to the main menu.
- Select Settings (gear icon) in the lower‑right corner.
- Navigate to the Gameplay tab.
- Find the Chat Mode option and choose Quick Chat.
- 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.
- Enter a game lobby and press the Chat button.
- Tap the Settings icon that appears next to the Quick Chat wheel.
- Drag and drop phrases into the slots you want to access quickly.
- 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.
Using Quick Chat Effectively During a Match
Effective communication is the key to winning, whether you’re a crew member or an impostor. Follow these tips:
- Be concise. Choose the shortest phrase that still conveys your point.
- Prioritize location. Use “I’m in Electrical” or “I’m near MedBay” to help teammates locate you.
- Signal urgency. Select “Emergency meeting!” only when you have solid evidence.
- Avoid over‑use. Repeating the same phrase can make you look suspicious.
