Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. A mobile terminal displays a group chat screen corresponding to a group chat, determines whether exclusive conversations between several participants in the group chat are continued over a reference range, groups the exclusive conversations between those participants in the group chat when it is determined that the exclusive conversations between those participants are continued over a reference range, and displays a skip area for selectively confirming the grouped exclusive conversations within the group chat screen, wherein the mobile terminal restricts download and output of received information belonging to the skip area and updates an indication related to the exclusive conversations corresponding to the skip area, when the information is received.
