Raw Blame History

Messages app

This app handles the display of messages and message notifications. It stores a list of currently received messages and allows them to be listed, viewed, and responded to.

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:

Vibrate - This is the pattern of buzzes that should be made when a new message is received
Repeat - How often should buzzes repeat - the default of 4 means the Bangle will buzz every 4 seconds
Unread Timer - when a new message is received we go into the Messages app. If there is no user input for this amount of time then the app will exit and return to the clock where a ringing bell will be shown in the Widget bar.

New Messages

When a new message is received:

If you're in an app, the Bangle will buzz and a 'new message' icon appears in the Widget bar. You can tap this bar 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.
The top-left icon shows more options, for instance deleting the message of marking unread
On Bangle.js 2 you can tap on the message body to view a scrollable version of the title and text (or can use the top-left icon + View 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)
