How do admin controls work in Pigeon?

iPhone

The chat creator is the first admin. They can assign other admins who can all invite, remove members, and rename the chat.

Who can be an admin

The person who creates a chat is the creator and first admin. They can choose any other member in that chat to also be an admin at any time, and there's no limit to how many admins a chat can have.

Admins are designated per chat. You can be an admin in one chat and a regular member (non-admin) in another chat.

What admins can do

Admins can do any of following:

  • Invite new members
  • Remove members
  • Rename the chat
  • Set the retention policy at chat creation
  • Grant or revoke admin status for other members

Removing admin access

Admin status can also be revoked by another admin — if a chat member moves on, an admin can revoke access in Settings > Chat Admin. Any member (including admins) can choose to leave a chat voluntarily.
