Tap down on the D pad twice and you will see that it does not toggle chat on

This is a major problem on dayz as you can't easily communicate with people whilst in gun fights or in any inventory, holding down on the dpad to try talk to a teammate or an enemy makes aiming and firing guns hard and puts you at a disadvantage and if you just meet someone for the first time and are trying to build trust it appears sketchy if you go quite for long periods of time whilst going through inventorys. This feature is desperately needed back and I've not met one person over the last few months that this has been a problem who does not feel the same way.
