Console chat request

In the spirit of offering some low-hanging QOL fruit, can I please just decide for myself which chat channel I'm going to be in? Joining a BG or dungeon finder group switches me to group chat. Leaving the same group puts me in Area chat. If I join a group when I'm in a guild chat, can I just stay in my guild chat until I switch it myself?
I know the big group finder revamp is in the works, and it would be great if the automatic chat switching would end.

    Agreed. Chat tabs like on PC would also be great.

    And please let us turn OFF zone chat like we can on PC. Right now, if I want to be in guild chat, I have to have zone chat on. The only way to turn zone chat off is to turn all chat off.

    I don't have this issue - I can be in guild or group chat without being in zone chat. But what I want to add to this QoL request (not that I believe for a second that any of it will get done) is to remove the waiting period for changing channels. For some reason when you join chat you have to wait like 6 seconds before you can leave - and then another few seconds before you can join another. It's super annoying when you join the wrong one.

    On Xbox you can turn off zone chat? That's odd

    If they could stop forcing us into chat every other log in that’d be great, even using an empty guild chat stopped working for this, they still force me into zone and guild chat 1 of one of my trade guilds 🙄😐

    Yeah, then maybe my one poor guild wouldn’t have to hear me go on about my most dapperest of little guys, Mr Grumpers, because my cat just walked in the room and I didn’t realize my mic was unmuted. That was a great way to start the day...

    You can't turn off certain text chats on Xbox that I know of. It's all or nothing.
