4.5 Viewing Others’ Status (Adding a Buddy)

To view someone’s online status, you need to add this person as a buddy. A buddy must have an XMPP address
or a softphone number. An XMPP address and a softphone number are typically a username. For XMPP
accounts, your buddies are stored in an XMPP server, not in your local Android tablet contacts. This means the
name and presence of your buddies appear in your Buddies list (not in All Contacts) while your XMPP account
is connected. For SIP accounts, your buddies are stored in your local Android tablet contacts.

XMPP Accounts

Make sure your XMPP account is ON (connected to an XMPP server).

Tap Contacts > Buddies, then tap + icon.

If prompted, select an
account which the buddy
belongs to .

Enter a username. No
need to include the
domain name.

Tap XMPP buddy.

Tap Save. Your buddy
apppears in your Buddies
list.
