Add chat function in Premium/Custom Challenges

I'm loving the custom challenges, however there are 2 points of action that needs to be addressed:

- Chat function
Unlike all the other challenges, there is no chat ability. This would be ideal as it can assist in coordinating further challenges without having to message everyone individually or creating a private group just for 20-30 people

 

Would love to see this changed in the future to make custom challenges more appealing as at this point, it's a slight hassle.

Yeah, I agree with @JeanBean6 . What's the status of consideration @LizFitbit ? If the consideration is negative please close this suggestion as not planned rather than give false hopes. Thanks for understanding.

This would be great as I participate in a lot of Get Fit Bingo challenges. But they are a little flat since we can't interact other than seeing each other's progress.

I see that this has been under consideration for quite a while is there any update at all wether chat will be added to the custom challenges ? A lot more people would do them if there was chat available .
