Mobile Layouts: Chatter Feed
The Chatter feed is a widget to display user messages on the Chatter module or in the Chatter tab of the selected record screen. Users can create posts and comments, and add attachments.
Important Notes
To use the Chatter widget, enable Chatter Feed tracking to allow users to see feed updates, such as new records, comments on them, and likes, they follow.
| Some standard objects, e.g., Account or Contact, are tracked regardless of whether feed tracking is enabled or not. |
| To display Chatter on the mobile layout of the custom object record, e.g., custom activity or custom meeting, feed tracking should be enabled for the corresponding custom object. |
