New Message Notifications
When a new message arrives, the Weline Pro client notifies you in two ways:
- A red dot appears on the chat icon in the client.
- A red dot appears on the contact’s avatar in the chat interface.

Chat Message Interactions
In the chat window, you can right-click on historical chat records to perform the following actions:
- Quote: Reply to a specific message by quoting it.

- Delete: Delete selected messages. Note: Deletion only removes the message from the current terminal. If you log in from another terminal, the deleted message will still be visible. To ensure the message is removed from all terminals and the recipient, use Recall instead.
