Just send an email?
If it doesn’t require an immediate response, use email.
Also if it’s iPhone to iPhone you likely won’t interrupt the other user since they would/should have night mode on anyway.

- hkpack 4y agoSome teams doesn’t have dedicated on-call engineer, so message as 3am may mean something may be urgent. At least it would be difficult to resist looking at what is going on. E-mail is way to go in this situation. Also, sender will be unavailable to reply for additional info, while appearing to be online.
