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

Tap Contacts.

Tap Buddies, then
tap +.

Select an account
if prompted.

Enter a username,
then tap Done.
Your buddy
apppears in your
Buddies list.
