A device configured to receive messages, the device comprising audio output circuitry configured to emit notification sounds in response to receiving a message, wherein when the device is set to a discreet mode the audio output circuitry provides either a quieter notification sound in response to the reception of a message than when the device is in a standard mode or no notification sound at all, message receiving circuitry configured to receive a message (e.g. an SMS message) comprising a header portion containing metadata, and a body portion containing message text, and processing circuitry configured to examine metadata within the header of the received message to detect whether the message comprises an urgent notification, wherein when the processing circuitry detects that a received message comprises an urgent notification, the processing circuitry overrides settings associated with the discreet mode in order to emit a louder notification sound than if a message not comprising an urgent notification were received. Thus, a user of a mobile device is alerted to the reception of a message comprising an urgent notification irrespective of the notification settings selected for the receiving device. |
