A mobile communication device (116) operable to automatically send a notification (416) of a status change within a messaging session. The device (116) includes a processor (302) operable to execute a real-time messaging application (216) on the mobile communication device (116), an input module (324) operable to receive a session status change instruction from a user and a status update module (218) operable to generate a session status change message (416) responsive to receipt of the session status change instruction from the user. The device (116) further includes a transceiver (304) operable to communicate with a plurality of remote devices (118, 120, 122, 124) and operable to automatically transmit the session status change message to each one of a group of at least two remote real-time messaging applications (352, 354, 356, 358) responsive to the generation of the session status change message by the status update module (218). |
