There are a few scenarios where someone may no longer be available to chat with:
- Chat says “Account paused”
- This means the Member has paused their Feeld account or been banned.
- The Members will stay in your chats/Connections list for now.
- If the Member returns, the chat will reopen, including your chat history.
- You can tap the chat and select Disconnect to remove it from your list. This removes the option of continuing the chat if they return.
- Chat says “X left the chat”
- This means the Member has disconnected from you.
- The chat history is no longer accessible to you or the other person.
- Tap the chat and select Delete this chat to remove it.
- Member missing from chat/Connections list
- This means the Member has terminated their account OR blocked you.
- Terminated accounts can never be restored.
- If they’ve blocked you, this cannot be undone.
- In either case, the chat history is gone and cannot be recovered.
In these cases, it is expected behavior for the Connection to not be available anymore.
If you’re looking for a Member that you chatted or connected with a while ago, they may have been pushed down in the chats/Connections list. Scroll through your chats or side-scroll through new Connections to check.
