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 phone 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 phone contacts.

the Android menu

buddy belongs to if asked.

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