Activity
The Activity tab collects the threads you take part in, messages that mention you, and the photos, files and links shared in your chats. On iPhone, Android and the web app, new followers appear under the bell on the Chats tab instead.
Filters
Section titled “Filters”Choose a filter at the top of Activity:
| Filter | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All | Direct Mentions, then your threads |
| Threads | Your threads only |
| Mentions | Direct Mentions, plus the threads where someone mentioned you |
| Shared | Photos, videos, files, links and audio shared in your chats |
While you’re on Activity, double-tap the Activity tab to move to the next filter. The number on the tab counts your unread thread replies and unread mentions.
Threads
Section titled “Threads”Your threads are the threads you replied in, threads under your own messages once someone replies, and threads you turned notifications on for. The thread with the newest reply comes first.
Each row shows the chat, the original message, the latest reply and its sender, the number of replies and how many are unread. An @ badge means someone mentioned you in that thread. Select a row to open the thread, which also marks it read.
To start a thread or turn its notifications on or off, see Threads.
Mentions
Section titled “Mentions”Activity lists messages that mention you by @username, @everyone or @here. Mentions typed in the desktop app don’t appear here (see Mention people).
- Direct Mentions are mentions in a chat’s main conversation. All shows the latest few; select View all for the full list, which has its own Mark all read.
- A mention inside a thread shows as the @ badge on that thread’s row.
- Select a mention to jump to the message. This marks it read.
- On iPhone and Android, swipe an unread mention to mark it read without opening it.
Shared
Section titled “Shared”Shared shows the photos, videos, files, links and audio shared in your direct chats, groups and My Memo, including in threads, newest first. You can filter it by type or by chat, and search it. See Find shared items across chats.
Mark everything read
Section titled “Mark everything read”Select Mark all read at the top of Activity. It marks your mentions and the threads currently in the list as read.
See who followed you
Section titled “See who followed you”When someone follows you, you get a notification in the app. Follows that arrive close together are combined into one notification.
-
On the Chats tab, select Notifications (the bell) at the top. A badge shows how many are unread.
-
Select a notification to open that person’s profile.
-
To clear the badge, select Mark all read.
Only follows appear here, and only inside the app. DonutChat doesn’t send a push notification when someone follows you.
Activity in the desktop app
Section titled “Activity in the desktop app”Open Activity (⌘3 or Ctrl+3) and choose All, Threads, Mentions or Notifications in the sidebar.
- All shows your Mentions and Followed threads.
- Notifications lists the people who followed you.
- Mentions and Notifications each have Mark all read.
