# Typing indicators in the Wickr client
Typing indicators

Typing indicators are a useful tool that allows users to see and share when messages are being typed. These indicators can be enabled or disabled at any time and appear as text-based notifications showing the name of the user who is typing. In case multiple users are typing simultaneously, the notification will display "several users are typing" to make it easier to follow the conversation.

**Note**  
Typing indicators are supported when users are within an environment with the same domain.

Complete the following steps to enable or disable typing indicators.

1. Sign in to the Wickr client. For more information, see [Sign in to the Wickr client](getting-started.md#sign-in-step2).

1. In the navigation pane, choose ![\[Settings icon\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/wickr/latest/userguide/images/icon-wickr-settings-hamburger.png), and then choose **Settings**.

1. In the **Settings** pane that appears, choose **Privacy & Safety**.

   The **Privacy & Safety** page displays **Enable Typing Indicators**, and the option to enable or disable the typing indicator feature.

   When the typing indicators are disabled, users will not send or receive typing indicator notifications.
