The built-in multifunction messenger and buddy system is one of Garena’s core features which enables gamers to keep in touch with their gaming buddies.
You will be able to directly chat with your Garena friends even if you are on different rooms, locate and trace the room where your friends are, invite friends instantly to join your room, receive alert of friends going online or when a friend joins in the same room, and many more. |
