Messages app

Default app to handle the display of messages and message notifications. It allows them to be listed, viewed, and responded to. It is installed automatically if you install Android Integration or iOS Integration.

It is a replacement for the old notify/gadgetbridge apps.

Settings

You can change settings by going to the global Settings app, then App Settings and Messages. See the Messages App Readme for more information.

New Messages

When a new message is received:

• If you're in an app, the Bangle will buzz and a message icon appears in the Widget bar. You can tap this icon to view the message.
• If you're in a clock, the Messages app will automatically start and show the message

When a message is shown, you'll see a screen showing the message title and text.

• The 'back-arrow' button (or physical button on Bangle.js 2) goes back to Messages, marking the current message as read.
• Tapping the title bar shows more options, for instance deleting the message of marking unread
• On Bangle.js 2:
  • Dragging up/down will show more or the current message
  • Swipe up/down at the beginning/end of a message to show newer/older message
• On Bangle.js 1:
  • Pressing top/bottom buttons will show more or the current message
• If shown, the 'tick' button:
  • Android opens the notification on the phone
  • iOS responds positively to the notification (accept call/etc)
• If shown, the 'cross' button:
  • Android dismisses the notification on the phone
  • iOS responds negatively to the notification (dismiss call/etc)
