### Setting a Status

MangoApps Messenger allows users to set a status, either by choosing a pre-created option or creating a custom one with an optional expiration time.

**To set your status:**

Click the dropdown menu to view your current status or set a new one.

Set an expiration time (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, Today, or This week) then click **Save** to confirm.

**Do Not Disturb (DND):** Toggle on to mute notifications temporarily, until the status is cleared, or DND is toggled off.

Once expired, your status will reset to **blank**.
{% endhint %}

After a status has been set, users will gain the additional status option **Clear Status**. This option will remove your current status.
