Typing Indicators in Arnio API

The Arnio API includes an endpoint that lets you send a typing indicator (the familiar three animated dots) to iMessage recipients. This creates a more natural, conversational feel and can be useful across different scenarios:

​
Usage

You can trigger a typing indicator by calling the /api/send-typing-indicator endpoint.
  • A chat must already exist with the recipient, and there must have been recent message activity.
  • Typing indicators are not currently supported in group chats.
  • This endpoint requires authentication — include your Arnio API credentials with the request.

​
Delivery Notes

Typing indicators are sent on a best-effort basis:
  • If the last message was sent too long ago, the indicator may not be delivered.
  • If the recipient is not on iMessage, the indicator may not display.
  • In these cases, the API will still return a SENT status, but the typing indicator will not appear to the end user.
