Replying from a notification

Pull down or press and hold a new message notification:

  • Reply: Write and send a reply without opening the app.
  • Mark as Read: Mark the message as read.

If your phone isn’t showing notifications, make sure Flowsy notifications are turned on in your phone’s settings.

In the desktop app, open Settings > Notification Preferences. Here you can set:

  • Message notifications and Notification Sound
  • Message Preview: Whether the message content appears in the notification
  • Keep running in the background when closed: Keep getting notifications when you close the window
  • Start when the computer starts

Note: Because messages are end-to-end encrypted, the notification text is unlocked on your device. When it can’t be unlocked, the notification says New message; see Message content in notifications.
