Hi Moshe, there’s no native way of doing this on Glide, you have to do a workaround using the comments feature, or some other workaround. There are various topics about this in the community or even templates [https://www.glideapps.com/templates/GgjCXWmFRfjKpCG3Fs9j-template](https://www.glideapps.com/templates/GgjCXWmFRfjKpCG3Fs9j-template) by @Robert_Petitto [Need help on creating private chat](https://community.glideapps.com/t/need-help-on-creating-private-chat/10686/11) ---

Hi Pablo, Is there any other workaround to create a private chat apart from using comments component?I do not find the Comments component user-friendly , a new screen comes up then need to click on submit, too much effort for a user. ---

The only other way is to create your own comments flow: have a form to submit new comments, display an inline list/collection of submitted comments, and allow users to edit/delete their own comments. Downside is it eats into your rows count. ---

Thanks ThinhDinh, I am trying to recreate this idea. I might have further questions. Regarding row count what if I delete the data regularly?Kind of disappearing message, rows are counted inside the tables , right? ---
