Party Chat and Voice messages

Am I a little late to the party or is there still no news on when the party system might actually start working?

Also I am a little confused as to why they took out voice messages as they were something I really liked and know that I'm not the only one who hates typing out a whole message on the new system. and why can't I even listen to one? My friends send them to me
from the 360 and I cant listen to them on either the computer or the One. WHY MS??

I don't understand how good things keep getting rolled out from MS and they always find a way to Efff them up down the road. IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT PLZ!

Voice Messages On Xbox One Needs To Be Made Private

Voice messages on Xbox One needs to be made private. Ages ago when I was sending voice messages, I could still hear the party chat. I wondered why. A few minutes ago while I'm in a party chat I could hear a friend of mine sending a voice message. Why
are we hearing the party chats when we're sending voice messages and listening to them? Also why can everyone in a party chat hear what we're saying in a voice message? So much for things being private! We were not even warned about people in a party chat
hearing what we're saying in a voice message. What if we're telling somebody something strictly private? Next thing, everyone in a party chat will know. This is a breech of privacy.

 

I hated voice messages and am glad that they've been removed (or haven't been re-added). If Voice Messages are brought back, please give people the ability to DISABLE sending/receiving voice messages. I hated having to stop everything I was doing to listen
to a slow and long voice message. The new text messaging does exactly that now unless you're in a party chat.

.

I don't want ANYONE sending me voice messages!

.

But I agree, please fix the bugs with Party Chat and make 'Party Chat' default when you create or join a party. No more 'Turn On Party Chat' after joining.

 

I too hate voice messages.....if they do bring them back, I want a way to disable them....if they don't, good riddance.

 

I'm just curious as to why you hated voice messages, you say you had to stop everything to listen to them but first, now if you get an achievement you have to open up a whole new menu just to see what you did to earn it unlike on the 360. Along with most
things and actually normal messages themselves work that way now too and it takes longer to view that message than it did to listen to a 10 second voice message on the 360. and idk why you hated them so much if you don't want to listen to them... DONT, Its
a pretty simple solution i think??

 

I already mentioned the current text messages doing the exact same thing which I hate too, unless in a Party Chat. Hopefully that's fixed but I hated voice messages because I'm able to read a full text message a lot faster than clicking 'Play', waiting for
the message to load, listening to it and backing out of the voice listener which takes way too long. I also had the ability to on a single glance tell if it was a message I wanted to bother with or if it was just spam or hate mail.

.

The thing though is I still had people sending me voice messages and getting butthurt because since they were too inpatient to write out a text message, I had to have the patience to wait through the long process of listening to their message which I just
wouldn't do so I'd never get their message. I'd send 'send text message' over and over again but people sending voice messages are just too impatient to care.

.

Plus, mostly its the little squeaky kids that send voice messages so there's another reason I hated having to deal with them.

I like voice messaging but I agree with this statement.

 

Ummm okay sending voice messages is much more convenient than sending text using the Xbox controller.

 

Ok then if there are actually people like you who like to spend five minutes typing out what could be said in 10 seconds than maybe I would agree with giving an option to deny voice messages with an error message saying this person does not accept voice
messages.

.

I don't know why they decided just to take it out in general, they seemed to take out a lot of things that were good when they "simplified" everything. I personally don't like spending 500 bucks on something that they made "easy to use" so that 8 year olds
could use it easier, but i guess thats MS for ya.

.

but yeah If they could hurry up and fix the party chat system that hasn't worked for almost 2 months now that would be great, I'd love to actually talk to my friends...

 

I do agree with you on fixing all the problems around Party Chat.

It doesn't take me 5 minutes to type out a complete message. Heck, I think I was able to pump out max text messages in around a minute flat with the Xbox 360 controller.

 

The ability was ALWAYS there. It's called not opening/sending them.

Peace, J.R.

 

I don't even want them in my inbox....when I disable them I want it to block and/or give a message to the sender that "voice messages not accepted by this user"......

 

The ability to block users was always there. Or are you talking about your desires to dictate how people you MAY want to hear from communicate with you? Such as, you'll only accept text messages from "Bob"? If that's the case, seems a little strange but,
I don't see why M.S. couldn't implement such a system.

It's better to prevent someone from sending you a voice message in the first place than it is for the other person to send you a voice message that you instantly delete. I don't want to receive voice messages! Period!

If Microsoft adds them back, I want the ability to disable receiving of voice messages.
