How to
Choose your chat profile and sharing settings
Set your profile and availability while deciding which activity signals teammates can see.
- 1
In the native app, open Settings → Chat profile. Set your photo, timezone, and working hours, and choose whether to share your working hours.
- 2
Set an away message and end time when needed; use Clear away status when you return. Turn on Automatic calendar status only if you want to share In a meeting, Focusing, or Busy.
Automatic calendar status shares an availability label, not event names, locations, attendees, or links.
- 3
Return to Settings to choose Read receipts and Chat activity independently. Read receipts let people see when you opened their messages; activity sharing shows when you are active where the business allows it.
- 4
On supported iPhones, open Notification settings to choose Share iPhone Focus status. Your iPhone settings still decide which alerts can interrupt you.
Worth knowing
- An unavailable business feature may hide or disable a control. A missing activity indicator does not establish that somebody is offline or has not read a message.
