Messaging updates & a sneak peak

Written by Matt Sencenbaugh | November 21, 2019

A few minor updates and a little sneak preview into the upcoming WrestlingIQ iOS app!

Messaging Updates

Email Notifications Changed

As of today email notifications for new messages have a new layout. Instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the new message, the latest message will appear right at the top of the email, with older messages further down.

Lots of people brought this to my attention as a less than ideal experience – apologies for that and do let me know if the new format is better.

Expanded Messaging Box

When typing a message into WrestlingIQ that’s longer than a couple sentences, it can be quite hard to read what you’ve typed in. There is now a little button in the bottom right corner of the messaging box that let’s you expand the textarea.

Message Archiving

If you are a coach or an admin, on the top right hand corner of the chat view is now a little … menu that exposes a drop down allowing you to take a few actions.

Don’t worry, it will prompt you first to confirm deletion after you click this button.

Added today is the ability to archive all messages in a group, which will be useful for those of you hoping to do some cleanup before this season really gets under way.

Text Message Notifications

A friendly reminder that text message notifications are available for all parents, wrestlers, and coaches who want that, in addition to email notifications. If you want to set notifications for yourself please go to your notification settings and add your phone number.

iOS Sneak Peak

I have been working hard on bringing WrestlingIQ to iOS with a particular emphasis on being able to record stats and video on any iOS device running iOS12 and later. I don’t have a firm release date yet, but here are a few sneak peaks of my work in progress (please excuse the view of my desk… pretend it’s your local wrestling tournament 😂)
