Managing Conversations

Review recent conversations, manage unread state, and hide chats from your BeatPass message list.

BeatPass keeps recent conversations in a single list inside the messaging panel. From there, you can review new activity, change read state, follow or unfollow direct contacts, and hide conversations from your own list.

Your Conversation List

Each recent conversation shows:

Item	What it shows
Name	The other participant or group title
Preview	Latest message text or typing...
Time	Relative time for the last activity
Unread badge	Current unread count for that conversation
Seen indicator	Green double-check for your latest sent direct message when it has been read

---

Conversation Actions

Open a conversation and use the More menu to access:

Action	Current behavior
Mark as read	Clears unread state for that conversation
Mark as unread	Re-applies unread state as a reminder
Follow user / Unfollow user	Available for direct conversations when the other participant is a user profile
Delete conversation	Hides the conversation from your own list

Ctrl + N or Cmd + N opens the new-message flow while the messaging panel is open.

What Delete Actually Does

Deleting a conversation in the current messaging UI is a hide action for your account:

• It removes the conversation from your recent list
• Other participants keep their copy of the conversation
• If someone sends a new message later, the conversation can reappear for you automatically

---

Read and Unread State

• Opening a conversation marks its unread messages as read
• The header message badge updates as the unread total changes
• Mark as unread is useful when you want to come back to a conversation later

Troubleshooting

I deleted a conversation but it came back

This is expected. BeatPass hides the conversation for you, but new incoming messages can unhide it again.

My unread count seems wrong

Reopen the messaging panel or refresh the page if the unread badge looks stale.

I can't find a conversation I know I had

Use New and search for the same person. If a direct conversation already exists, BeatPass can reopen it instead of making a duplicate.

Can I stop someone from messaging me from here?

No. The current conversation menu supports follow state and delete or hide actions, but it does not expose blocking.
