Facebook has bowed to user demands for the ability to turn off chat for the new groups function launched earlier this month.
Inside Facebook reported on the change, which was announced in the form of an answer to a Quora question.
Now users can opt out of chat by going to “edit settings” and unticking a checkbox for “send me group chat messages” to opt out of chat with that group.
