Tapping the photo will take you directly to the detail view for the listing. From there, tapping\u00a0<b>Back<\/b>\u00a0returns you to the contact\u2019s message, making it easy to review a listing and then respond to a question.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8422 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/flexmls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1_8-08.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"546\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Message management is easier because messages from a contact are gathered in one place. Instantly send a reply by entering a return message and tapping\u00a0<b>Send<\/b>. Questions and replies stay together in threads.<\/p>\n<p>For members, messages are also a great way to direct contacts to the client portal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages for Clients<\/strong><br \/>\nYour clients can quickly and easily ask a question, request a showing, or comment on a listing by tapping the\u00a0<b>Contact Agent<\/b>\u00a0button. Even if they\u2019re not logged in, clients can send a message to their agent. (Logging in is required to see the agent\u2019s reply.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8423 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/flexmls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2_9-09.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"475\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Because the clickable listing summary is always included, clients can also tap the photo in a message to view the details of the listing.<\/p>\n<p><b>When Will It Change<\/b><br \/>\nThis update will become available on June 6, 2019.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who Will Be Affected<\/b><br \/>\nMembers who use the Flexmls Pro Android app or mobile website and clients who view the Flexmls Portal on a mobile device will notice these updates.<\/p>\n<p><b>What Will Change<\/b><br \/>\nWith this change, message threads are getting an updated, modern look.
