Updating Your Status
Update your status so that your buddies can monitor your status from their
phones. You can choose one of the following status options: online, busy, be
right back, away, out to lunch, or do not disturb. Your phone sends status to
your buddies based on the option you choose.
Your phone also sends certain status information to your buddies automatically
(such as if you’re in a call, enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, or your phone is
offline because you restarted it). For example, if you enable Do Not Disturb on your
phone, your availability automatically updates to “Do Not Disturb.”
If you select the option “Do Not Disturb,” and then enable and disable
Do Not Disturb on your phone, your status will change to Online.
