Managing Conversations

Current conversations

All of your open conversations will be shown under Current Conversations at the top of the Buddy list. See Managing Buddies for more information on the contents of the Buddy list.

Starting or continuing a conversation

Touch a buddy row to start a new conversation with him or her. You can touch an existing conversation (under Current Conversations) to continue a conversation. A screen opens showing your conversation with that buddy. Touch the text field at the bottom of the screen to chat.

Message notifications

Every time you receive a message in a conversation, the message will display briefly in the Android status bar at the top of the screen. The Meebo icon on the status bar will display a badge showing how many unread messages you have. If you pull down the status bar, you can open the conversation (if only one has unread messages) or the Buddy list (if multiple conversations have unread messages) to check your new messages.

Closing conversations

There are 2 ways to close a conversation:

  1. From within a conversation, push your Android device's Menu button and then select Close conversation from the menu. You will be returned to the Buddy list.
  2. From the Buddy list, touch and hold on the conversation and then select Close conversation from the pop-up dialog.

Adding or removing a buddy from within a conversation

You can add and remove buddies from the Buddy list as described in Managing Buddies. You can also add or remove a buddy from inside a conversation. To do so, push your Android device's Menu button while in a conversation. If the person you are chatting with is not currently a buddy, you can touch Add buddy to add them to your Buddy list. If the person you are chatting with is currently a buddy, you can touch Remove buddy to take them off of your Buddy list.

Note: Removing a buddy from your Buddy list does not block them from sending messages to you. If you want to block a buddy, you can do so at meebo.com.
