Inside a conversation, the chatroom is organized around the top toolbar, message area, search bar, screenshot selection bar, and bottom input bar. This guide explains what each entry point does.
1. Top Toolbar
Back returns to the chat list while keeping the conversation state.
The music button opens the player, lets you select a playlist, or starts a recommended playlist.
Search opens message search for the current chat.
The mode button shows the current Chat or Yes/No icon and opens the broader chat menu.
2. Top-Right Chat Menu
Chat Mode switches between Chat Mode and Yes/No Mode.
Choose for Me lets you enter a question and at least two options, then the character replies with one option.
Character Settings or Group Settings opens character settings in direct chats, or group members and group info in group chats.
Current Context chooses context tags for this conversation and affects phrase set selection.
Pause Scheduled Messages pauses or resumes scheduled messages for this conversation.
3. Search Bar and Date Jump
Tap the magnifying glass to search messages in the current chat. After you enter a keyword, the search bar shows the selected result count and lets you move with up and down buttons.
The message bubble button opens the result list, where you can load older results and jump to one.
The calendar button jumps by date to days that have messages.
The close button exits search and returns to the normal chat view.
4. Long-Press Message Actions
Long-press a message to open actions. On iOS 18, if the native system menu is unreliable, DreamChat presents the same main actions in a bottom action sheet.
Reply quotes a partner message and shows the reply target above the input bar. Your own messages and system messages do not offer Reply.
Copy copies the message text to the clipboard.
Screenshot starts range selection. Choose a start and end message, then confirm and switch between Original and Anonymous in the preview.
Delete removes the message after a confirmation.
Anonymous screenshots replace participant names and avatars before saving or sharing. Sticker images remain visible, so review the preview before sharing.
5. Bottom Input Bar
The emoji button opens stickers and emoji. Stickers send directly; emoji are inserted into the text field.
The text field sends messages. In group chats, typing @ shows mention suggestions.
The paper plane sends text. Empty messages and unavailable plan states cannot be sent.
The reply preview appears above the input bar while replying and can be canceled with the close button.
6. Floating Music Player
When a usable queue exists, the chatroom can show a floating player. The small player can play or pause, open the queue, expand, or collapse. Expanded controls include previous, next, seeking, shuffle, and repeat.
