What Inbox is for

Open Inbox from the main navigation to find conversations connected to your uDink activity. Inbox can include:

  • Private conversations with another player.
  • Sessions conversations linked to a game you joined or host.
  • Groups conversations for groups you belong to.
  • Requests for private message requests that need your response.

The All view combines these conversation types. An unread count can appear on Inbox and on individual conversations.

Open and filter a conversation

  1. Open Inbox.
  2. Choose All, Private, Sessions, Groups or Requests.
  3. Select a conversation to read it and reply.
  4. Use the search field when you need to find a conversation by its title or recent message.

Opening a conversation marks the messages you have viewed as read. Session and group conversations remain tied to their original session or group; use those pages for the full session details or group-management controls.

Message another player

You can start a private conversation from a player in an eligible group or session, or from Inbox:

  1. Choose New message.
  2. Choose whether you know the player from a group or a session.
  3. Select the group or session, then select the player.
  4. Write your message and send the request.

The recipient may need to accept a message request before you can exchange further messages or photos. Do not send passwords, verification codes, payment-card details, bank details or identity documents.

Clear a conversation from Inbox

Swipe a conversation from right to left and choose Dismiss when that action is available. Clearing a conversation removes it from your current Inbox list; it does not delete the underlying group, session or private-chat record. A new message can make a conversation appear again.

If Inbox does not update

Check your internet connection, close and reopen uDink, and install the latest app version. If a session or group chat is missing, confirm that you still have the relevant participation or group membership and follow Fix missing session chat.

If Inbox still cannot load, contact admin@udink.app with your username, device platform, app version and the conversation type. Do not send private message content unless support asks for a redacted example.

What happens next?

Use Inbox for messages and conversation updates. Use SessionsJoined for upcoming sessions connected to your account, and open the session itself for its current time, venue, participation and payment status.
