Setting a personal status message
You can add a personal presence message to provide your contacts with more information.
To enter a status message 
1 Click on your profile picture.
2 Click on the field Status message and enter your message.
*The status message is immediately applied and is visible for your contacts under your name in the contact list.
* 
The entered status message is displayed regardless of the selected status (even if the app is deactivated). With the help of this option you can, for example, give more precise information about your holiday times so that the person you are calling can see when you will be available again.
