To view your messages on your iOS app, simply tap on the Messages tab on the bottom navigation bar.
Interface Overview
When you tap on Messages, you are immediately brought to your main inbox.
Inbox
Your inbox holds all of your current incoming messages. Any messages that have been sent to you, and any invites you've received, will live here. They are displayed in the order in which you received them. When a new reply to an already existing thread comes in, that message will be bumped to the top of the list.
New messages and replies are highlighted with bold text and a colored circle badge. This way, you can easily determine which messages have and have not been opened by you.
Sending and Reading Messages
Tap on the message to open the message thread.
Tap on 'Type a reply' and type your response. Press the up button to send your message. You can read more about sending and reading messages here.
Once the message is opened and viewed, the highlight and colored badge will be removed, and the message will appear in plain text like the other read messages.
Archiving Messages
If you want to view your archived messages, tap on the back button to view your Messaging folders and tap on 'Archived'.
The archived folder includes all of the messages you've decluttered from your inbox.
We do not allow users to delete messages; only archive. Rather than worry about accidentally deleting important messages, users can simply retrieve archived messages from their Archived folder and move them back to the main inbox if desired.
To learn more about archiving and unarchiving a message, please see Archiving a Message in iOS.
Marking Messages and Searching for a Specific Message
At the top of the Messaging inbox, you can tap on the 'Edit' button (B) to archive a message (see details above), mark a read message as new, and mark a new message as read without opening the message.
Select the messages you want to mark on the left.
Tap on any of the three options above.
You can also search for a specific message using the search button at the top of the inbox (C). Type in a keyword to search throughout your inbox.
If you want to review your old archived messages, tap on the back button (A) to navigate to the Archived folder.
