Messages

Messages is where your conversations live. Start a direct chat with a station, follow whether your messages got through, and keep your inbox tidy.

Start a direct chat

  1. Tap Messages.
  2. Start a new chat and enter a station’s callsign.
  3. Type a message and send.

How a message is sent depends on your radio’s frequency. See Dual messaging modes for the difference between APRS and Enhanced Messaging.

Track delivery

  • Outgoing messages show their delivery state.
  • If a message isn’t acknowledged, the app retries it for you.
  • A failed message shows a mark you can tap to retry.

Act on a message

Long-press a message for actions like copy and details information.

Organize your inbox

Long-press a conversation for actions like:

  • Pin a conversation to keep it at the top.
  • Hide Alerts to mute a conversation. See Notifications.
  • Mark as Read or Mark as Unread.
  • Edit Via… digipeater path (non APRS only).
  • Delete a conversation.
  • Block a station from their profile, or manage blocks in Settings → Blocked Callsigns. See Blocked callsigns.

Bulk Editing

  • Use Edit to select several conversations and act on them at once.
