If you receive a new message while you’re working in a message
window, the new message is displayed. If not, you’ll receive a new
message notification and the new message icon appears
in the Status Bar. When a New Message notification is displayed, you
can reply quickly without accessing the Messaging application. Simply tap the Text field in
the notification to respond with a text message. Tap View in the New Message notification to open the Messaging application, or tap the Call icon
to call the person instead
of responding by text.
If the Auto-retrieve setting is not checkmarked, you must tap Download to view the message.
If the message contains a media file, tap the Play icon to view, watch, or listen to it. Tap and hold the media file to
open a Context menu with additional options.
