The Facebook chat feature allows you to communicate with people on your list of friends via instant messages. The chat sidebar is displayed on the left side of each page and, after you engage in a chat with someone, the box is shown at the bottom of the screen. If you prefer not to chat with people on Facebook or find the chat box obtrusive, it is possible to remove this feature. If you close the chat box, it will re-open when someone sends you a message, but deactivating the chat feature will get rid of it completely. Tips Writer Bio
