You can add a new message to a conversation or group chat that you are in.
-
To add a message, type the text in the field at the bottom of the screen.
-
To ask for an acknowledgment to your message, click the exclamation marks icon located to the left of
the text. The icon turns red.
This is a convenient way to mark message text as high priority and ensure that it is acknowledged and not just read.
-
Click the Send icon to send the message. This icon is located at the bottom right of the screen.
The sent message appears on the screen of all other participants in the conversation or group chat. If you have sent a message that requires an acknowledgement, the screen indicates this.
If a message that requires acknowledgement has been acknowledged by all participants, a checkmark icon appears.
In addition, the status of the message changes to Acknowledged.
Note: Each message in a conversation has an associated status. For a complete list of all possible statuses
for sent and received messages, see Message States.
