how to hide ssb and philo book messages from chat in maplystory 2026
You can usually hide SSB and similar MapleStory spam by creating a custom chat tab and leaving out system-type messages. That keeps normal player chat visible while filtering out SSB, gachapon, and some other announcement spam.
How to set it up
- Open the chat window.
- Click the + icon to add a new chat tab.
- Enable the chat types you want, such as Normal, Friend, Party, Guild, Alliance, and Whisper.
- Save the tab with the pencil/edit icon.
- Keep system messages off if you want SSB-style notices hidden.
Extra 2026 tip
Some players also use the in-game setting under Settings > Game and enable Chat Box Only for other message clutter, which can reduce things like honor and similar alerts.
Important note
You may still see some message types depending on your exact chat setup, server behavior, or whether external chat is enabled, so the custom tab method is the most reliable workaround shared by players.
In practice, the cleanest setup is usually a custom tab for real chat plus system messages turned off for that tab.
Quick answer for Philo book messages
If by “philo book” you mean the chat spam from item/enhancement/book-style system notices, the same fix usually applies: make a custom tab and exclude system/other message categories.
