DICE is about to release Update 4.1.1 for Battlefield 2042. This update, out on April 12 at 8AM (UTC), will focus on some quality of life improvements. One of those "quality of life" features will be the return of All Chat.
Ah yes, now you can once again know how all 64-players on the opposing team did your mom last night as they teabag you relentlessly. Thankfully for everyone, this All Chat function will be disabled by default after the update is released. You have to manually enable it in order to "partake in friendly chatter with the opposing team."
To enable All Chat after this update is out: Options > Display > HUD General > Chat Section
There are some other bits and whatnots in Update 4.1.1, which you can read about below.
