There's a new update in Among Us, and while it may not be the new Airship map many fans are waiting on, it does add one feature that really improves gameplay: Quickchat. Here's everything to know about Among Us' new Quickchat feature - and how it makes the game faster and safer for everyone.

Over the weekend, InnerSloth - the indie studio that makes Among Us - released a new update to the game that contained bug fixes and improvements. The update also includes the new Quickchat feature in Among Us, which is designed to make the game run faster for players - and keep younger players safe. Now, users will have to enter their age in Among Us, and anyone below the age of thirteen will have to use the Quickchat option. Everyone else can toggle the Quickchat feature on or off.

In this manner, Quickchat is a safety precaution to keep younger players from revealing too much about themselves in chat, and it actually makes a lot of sense for InnerSloth to add this feature in. For those who aren't using voice chat in Among Us, the Quickchat feature is still really nice for a number of reasons.

The new Quickchat feature is available on all platforms, and it makes communication much easier and faster. A social deduction game like Among Us requires communication, and fans have complained that the game's chat features were clunky in the past. It's also difficult having to type out long pieces of dialogue when time is of the essence. Thankfully, the new Quickchat feature in Among Us adds a wheel full of chat options that makes communicating much smoother.

The Quickchat wheel has options for every aspect of Among Us: Accusation, Crew, Systems, Location, Statements, Question, and Response. These default chat options means that players no longer have to type out responses or questions when playing. Text chat is an important way to talk to other players in Among Us, especially for those not using voice chat, and these new Quickchat options are a vastly improved way to communicate.

Overall, most players should be pleased with Among Us' new Quickchat feature. The latest chat options are required for younger players as a safety measure, but everyone else can turn the feature on or off. However, given the complaints players have had regarding chat in Among Us before, it's likely many people will prefer to use the Quickchat feature from now on.
