Updating Your Status

Update your status so that other people can monitor your status from their phones. When you update your status, your status is automatically sent to the people watching you.

You can update your status to one of the following:

∙Online

∙Busy

∙Be right back

∙Away

∙On the phone

∙Out to lunch

∙Do not disturb

Your phone also sends certain status information to the people watching you automatically—such as if you are in a call, if you enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, or if your phone is offline because you restarted it. For example, if you enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your phone, your availability automatically updates to Do Not Disturb.

When you select a presence setting other than online, the setting scrolls under the time display on the status bar, as displayed next.

Note: Your Presence Status When You Enable and Disable the Do Not Disturb Feature on Your Phone

If you select the status option Do Not Disturb, and then enable and disable the Do Not Disturb feature on your phone, your status changes to Online.

To update your presence setting:

1From Lines view, tap My Status. Or, tap Settings from Home view, and tap Features > Presence

>My Status.

2From the My Status screen, tap the status you want.

Your new status is sent to phones watching you.
