Receive text and multimedia messages
Depending on your notification settings, the device will play a ring tone, vibrate,
or display the message briefly in the status bar when you receive a new text or
multimedia message. To change the notification for new text and multimedia
messages, see “Adjust text and multimedia settings” later in this chapter.
A new message icon ( ) also appears in the notifications area of the status bar to
notify you of a new text or multimedia message. To open the message, refer to the
next section.
Manage messages and message threads
Text and multimedia messages that are sent to and received from a contact (or
a number) are grouped into conversations or message threads. Threaded text or
multimedia messages let you see exchanged messages (similar to a chat program)
with a contact on the screen. Message threads are listed in order of when you
received them, with the latest message on top of the thread.
To open and read a text message
Do any of the following:
On the Home screen, touch and hold the status bar, then slide it down to
open the notifications panel. Touch the new message to open and read it.
While in the message list, touch the text message or message thread to open
and read it.
