It’s interesting, because I remember Steve or somebody saying this was a selling point of iMessage. “No busy indicator, no offline state, just send your message and they’ll get it on all of their devices”. Then at the last WWDC they go up there and show how cool it is that iMessage will now tell your contacts if you are in Do Not Disturb (and allow them to override it). You can opt out, of course, but I guess people really like the busy indicator?
- powersnail 4y ago> I guess people really like the busy indicator? I think people sometimes just really don't want others to think that they are ghosting them, so a busy indicator serves that purpose: "I'm working right now, not purposefully ignoring you, please be patient, or override it if it's urgent." I don't personally use it, but I understand the sentiment.

- HWR_14 4y agoTelling people I'm in DND is my phone telling them that I'm asleep/in a movie/working/whatever. Since some people have emergencies, give I gotta them the ability to bust through is nice. That ability used to only happen with repeated calls in a short period of time, and that's annoying. I suppose I look at it as less of an "away" message and more of a feature to override the DND.
