Tap to accept, tentatively accept, or decline an invitation.

Here are the key features of meeting invitations:

Meeting invitations appear on your smartphone in the Email application, not in the Calendar application.

From within the Email application, you can accept, decline, or tentatively accept a meeting invitation.

If you accept or tentatively accept an invitation, it appears as an event in Calendar.

For details, see the section in this guide on the specific application.

The Synergy feature enables the Messaging app to gather all your text, multimedia, and instant messages to and from the same contact into a single conversation (sometimes called a “thread”). So you can see your entire message history with someone regardless of the different methods you happened to use to communicate with that person (see Work with conversations). You can even switch from account to account without losing the thread of your conversation (see Switch between messaging accounts in a conversation)—just pick the messaging account that’s most likely to keep you in unbroken contact with the person you’re talking to.
