4.7 Responding to Buddy Requests
When using an XMPP account, you may receive a buddy request. You must respond to the request. You have
three options.
• Accept: you let the other person see your online status. At the same time, the buddy request will be
automatically sent from your Bria to this person, and you will see this person’s status in your buddies list.
• Decline: the person will not see your online status. You will not see this person on your Buddies list either.
• Ignore: the person will not see your online status. The buddy request may appear in this session or in a
future sesson.
When using a SIP account for presence, you will not receive a buddy request. As soon as the person on the other
end registers your softphone number on the client, the person will see your presence without your acceptance.
Similarily, you will see someone’s presence right away without having to wait for the person’s response.
