Signals - how long do they remain 'active' on iOS/Android device?

Chris Smith

Hi,

As you will see from other posts, I am determined to understand Signals properly, so apologies for the detailed questions.

Lets say you have a signal in slide 3 and another on slide 7.

1. If someone joins the service late (after slide 3 but before 7), would they be prompted with 3 or just see 7 when it becomes live?

2. If someone is in the service from the start, will the slide 3 signal remain 'active' at the bottom of their screen just for the duration of that slide, or until the next signal is made active?

3. Unusual activity but if a user is logged into the same account on both Logos Bible and Faithlife Bible during the service and switches between the two - would both see all Signals and prompts (depending which app is active at that time)?

Users can always access the list of signals for the service in the active list, to take home of course, so it is more the mechanism used for the live prompting with Signals that I want to understand please.

Many thanks,
Chris

1) They will just see 7 when it becomes live. However, there is a known bug on iOS where it will show the signal for the last service item in the presentation if it does not have a current signal. Once the iOS moves to service item 7, however, it will show the correct signal for service item 7.

2) It will remain active just for the duration of that service item.

3) Yes, this should be fine.
