I have read that this feature exists but have not figured out where it is or how to use it. Thanks!
It existed in the past, now i think if you are paying member you can have it but with other paying member.
It's a pity that in Italki they eliminated the chat, but you can make friends here through text messages.
It exist before but I don't see it now.. Well I like it better without instant message.
Dos personas pueden chatear cuando ambas han selecionado la opción de seguir. Es decir si tu sigues a una persona y esta te sigue a ti, podeis intercambiar mensajes online.
