Using Buddy Lists
A Buddy list is a list of users whose status or presence you can monitor. Users can update their presence
setting to status such as Be right back, Out to lunch, or Busy, and you can view their status in real time from
your Buddy list. You can also view your buddies’ status from the Lines and Home screens, if your buddy is
a favorite.
In this section, you’ll learn how to:
● Add Contacts to Your Buddy List
● Monitor Contacts on Your Buddy List
● View Watcher List
● Block Contacts from Viewing Your Status

Add Contacts to Your Buddy List
If you want to monitor other people, you need to make sure they are in your Buddy list. You add people to
your Buddy list from your Contact Directory, so you must first add them to your Contact Directory before
adding them to your Buddy list. For information on adding a person to your contact directory see the section
Managing the Contact Directory.
To add a contact to your Buddy list:
1 From your Contact Directory, select a contact.
2 From the Contact Information screen, select Edit or tap the Edit icon .
3 From the Edit Contact screen, select Watch Buddy > Enabled.
The default setting is Disabled. When enabled, the contact is added to your Buddy list so you can
monitor the contact’s status.

View Your Buddy List
When you enable the Watch Buddy setting for a contact, the contact is displayed in your Buddy list.
To view your Buddy list:
» From the Lines screen, select Buddies.
Tip: Quickly deleting a favorite
From the Lines screen, press and hold the favorite until the Contact Information screen is displayed.
Select Delete or tap the Delete icon . The contact remains in your directory, but is no longer a
favorite.
Note: Buddies and Microsoft Lync Server
If your phone is configured to work with Lync Server, the way you manage contacts who you can view
their presence status is different. For more information, see Managing Lync Contacts.
