218 Section 3B: Your Email and Other Messages
ⅷ Multimedia messages, if your service plan includes multimedia messaging (see “Create
and Send a Text or Multimedia Message” on page 220).
ⅷ Instant messages for an IM account you already have set up online (see “Set up an
Instant Messaging (IM) Account” on page 223).
The Synergy feature enables the Messaging app to gather all of your text, multimedia, and
instant messages to and from the same contact or phone number into a single conversation
(sometimes called a thread). So you can see your entire message history with a person
regardless of the different accounts you happened to use to communicate with that person
(see “Work With Conversations” on page 218). You can even switch from account to account
without losing the thread of your conversation (see “Switch Between Messaging Accounts in
a Conversation” on page 219)—just pick the messaging account that’s most likely to keep you
in unbroken contact with the person you’re talking to.
Work With Conversations
When you exchange more than one message with a person, the messages are grouped into
a conversation. A single conversation can contain text, multimedia, and IM messages. When
you start or continue a conversation, the upper part of the conversation displays all messages
you’ve exchanged with this person, and the lower part provides the area where you type your
next message.
You can carry on multiple conversations at the same time.
