Sending Messages
Type, send, reply, react and pin - plus read receipts that show exactly what happened to your message.
Open any conversation and type in the input bar at the bottom - hit Enter to send (Shift + Enter for a new line on desktop). That's the basics. The good stuff is one press away.
Do more with a message
Long-press (mobile) or right-click (desktop) any message to:
- Reply - quote it in a threaded reply
- React - drop an emoji reaction on it
- Pin - keep it at the top of the conversation for everyone
- Set a reminder - get notified about it later (see Message Reminders)
- Edit or delete - fix typos or take it back (your own messages)
Know when you're read
mssgs shows Snapchat-style delivery states in direct messages: Sent, Opened and Viewed - so you never have to ask "did you see this?". In group conversations, use the Read by option to see exactly who has read a message.
Mentions and typing
Type @ followed by a name to mention someone - they get a notification even if the conversation is muted. You can see when the other person is typing, and in DMs you even see live indicators when they're drawing on the whiteboard.
