Messages

Messages let you have private conversations with other people in your group. It's like texting, but inside the app.

When you open Messages, you'll see a list of your conversations. Each one shows:

  • The name of the person (or people) you're chatting with
  • The last message that was sent
  • When it was sent

Tap any conversation to open it and read the messages.

Knowing When You Have New Messages​

When someone sends you a message:

  • You might see a small number or dot on the Messages icon
  • If you have notifications turned on, you may get a notification on your phone

Quick Help: If you're not sure whether you have new messages, just tap Messages and check.

If You're Stuck​

If a message doesn't send right away:

  • Give it a moment — it might just be slow
  • Check that your phone is connected to the internet
  • Try tapping "Send" again

If it still shows as unsent, you can close the app and open it again. Then try sending once more.

The app won't send duplicate messages, so you don't need to worry about the same message going twice.
