On Aircraft X there were passengers that had masks on when they boarded but then immediately took their masks off and sipped on water bottles the whole flight and didn't wear their mask.  I couldn't see their faces.  I noticed during service that they were drinking their water; so I didn't say anything but after we secured the cabin for landing (we had to do it early because the Captain was anticipating turbulence); Flight Attendant Y called me and told me that they didn't have their masks on and that one of the passengers moved from their original seat forward to sit with his friend and we didn't catch it until it was close to landing and it wouldn't have been safe for us to get out of our seats to talk to him and I didn't want him to get up and move back to his original seat either for safety reasons. What do you suggest is the proper way to handle people that won't wear their mask and act like they're drinking water the whole flight?
Flight attendant reported passengers did not comply with the face mask policy during flight.
