FAQ
What is the difference between a text message and a rich text message?
- A text message is used for plain text content and is more direct for quick communication.
- A rich text message usually supports more text styles, such as bold or italic formatting.
- If you only need to send a quick message, use the text input box directly. If you need more styling, switch to the related formatting entry.
Is there a time limit for recalling a message?
- Yes. A text message can be recalled within 24 hours after it is sent.
- Right-click the target message in the chat history.
- If the message is still within the allowed time window, choose Recall. After the time limit, that option is no longer available.
What follow-up actions are available for a text message?
- Right-click a sent text message.
- Choose actions such as copy, reply, forward, pin, favorite, translate, add to to-do, or add to schedule.
- Continue with the selected action as needed.
