What is Proximity for?
Proximity is the functionality that allows you to know where people in a chat group are on a map and to be able to communicate with them quickly and easily. Its operation is very simple and not intrusive, because Proximity makes it easy for you to send an invitation to all the contacts in your group and only those who accept the invitation will appear on the map. This way you will be able to see where you are and by selecting that contact on the map you will be able to chat, send a Pager and find out the route to them.
How can I activate Proximity?
When you are inside the group chat:
Select the icon with the ➕ at the bottom inside the chat writing box.
A menu will be displayed where you will find 8 functional icons.
Select the purple icon labeled Proximity ☸️
Select Activate to start.
How does Proximity work?
Once you have activated the functionality, the contacts of that chat group will receive a notification in the form of an alert that they can Accept or Deny:
Your contacts' Band will vibrate 4 times and stay lit for 5 seconds in green to notify them that they have received an invitation to this functionality.
If they accept the alert they will appear on the Proximity map you sent. If they decline the invitation or do not accept it, they will not appear on the map.
Once on the map, you will have the following options:
You will be able to see on the map all the contacts within the chat that accepted your Proximity. By selecting them you can:
Set the route to them.
Send them a Pager.
Chat with them.
