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 iPad 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 iPad contacts.
XMPP Accounts
Make sure that your XMPP account is ON (connected to an XMPP server). When you add a buddy, Bria sends
a buddy request to the buddy. You will see the person’s status after the person accepts your buddy request. If the
person declines the request, the person will remain in the your buddies list with Blocked status. You can re-send
a buddy request to the person by tapping Unblock Buddy on the buddy profile screen.
