Ability to always disable chat removed from mobile app. Must disable per game. Why?

In the latest version of the chess.com mobile app, I have to disable chat for every single game which is several screen presses deep. This not only wastes time in shorter games, but leaves you open to people talking hate at you because you forgot to disable chat.

Why would you remove the ability to permanently disable chat like it was in previous versions? You could say just don't worry about it and have thicker skin, but I do not like seeing someone hurl a "your're a fukn loser" for no reason other than to be mean. Your filters should have screened for that BTW.

Can you please bring back the ability to disable chat globally?

While not a direct solution to it not being in the app, you can turn chat off in n the website and that may default the app to off as well.

Thanks for your reply, but my settings on the Chess.com website do not transfer to the mobile app. I would just like to know why they removed the option to disable chat globally in the new version of the mobile app. Does anyone know?

Are you on iOS? Because Android 4.x has the setting for both Live and Daily.
