            What to Expect in Lightning Experience If Chatter Is Turned Off

            If your organization doesn’t use Chatter, some features of the Lightning Experience interface aren’t available. Learn how Lightning Experience changes, and see if you’re losing functionality that you’d rather not live without.

            Required Editions

            Chatter is available in Lightning Experience in: Essentials, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
            Note
            Note Beginning in Summer ’26, Chatter is turned off by default in all new orgs. For any features in these orgs that require access to Chatter functionality or the Chatter APIs, turn on Chatter by going to Setup | Chatter Settings and selecting Enable. For details, see Chatter Is Turned Off by Default in New Orgs Beginning in Summer ’26.

            If you turn off Chatter for your entire organization, or if you use permission sets to turn off Chatter for a subset of users:

            • Feeds, topics, groups, and recommendations aren’t available.
            • User profiles are still available, but feeds and groups aren’t available on profiles.
            • The Chatter tab isn’t available on records.
            • Users can’t follow records or other users.
            • If you turn off Chatter in Salesforce Classic, global search is also turned off. If you turn off Chatter in Lightning Experience, global search stays on.
            Note
            Note In Lightning Experience, most objects don't show a Chatter tab unless Feed Tracking is enabled for the object. Exceptions are Group, Site, and User objects, which show a Chatter tab regardless of whether Feed Tracking is enabled for them.
