Secure Chat Messages - Only Send to Available Users

A user's availability is more immediately visible now, so if they are unavailable, the sender knows they should contact someone else. 

A. In Hyperspace, instead of a user's photo, an icon representing the user's availability status now appears directly next to their name. 

B. In several places in Secure Chat both in Hyperspace and on mobile devices, a user's availability status is highlighted with its corresponding color, making it easier to see. 

C. Both in Hyperspace and on mobile devices, a new banner appears at the bottom of a conversation that indicates which participants are unavailable or busy. 

Remember, before sending a Secure Chat message, search for the user and confirm they are available, if not, send the message to another user.
