How messages work

Common actions

• Message connectionsOpen a conversation from Messages or a connected profile.
• Use statusesShare a short status with connections for about 24 hours.
• React and retryHeart messages and retry sends that fail.
• Use safety controlsReport messages or block accounts when needed.

What to expect

Message statuses are meant for accepted connections, not the whole app. External links in messages may ask for confirmation before leaving Idle.

Troubleshooting

• Message delayedCheck your connection, reopen the thread, and retry if the option appears.
• Status disappearedShort statuses are temporary and can expire.
• Thread missingBlocking, account state, or access changes can affect message visibility.
