For sake of sharing, sports digital device reviewer DC Rainmaker has an insightful take on Messenger. I wont post a link but the site is easy to find.
Oct 6, 2022 at 6:50 pm #3761380Would love to see Garmin give a timeline for when the Messenger App functionality will be available.
Oct 7, 2022 at 1:51 am #3761386Sorry did not understand, is the Messenger App already compattible with InReach Mini 2 or a new firmware update will be coming?
Oct 7, 2022 at 6:33 am #3761390The Messenger App is not current compatible with the InReach Mini 2. DC Rainmaker mentioned in his video that a forthcoming firmware update will add this functionality. I haven’t seen a ETA for the new functionality.

Sending a Message through the inReach MapShare
IMPORTANTIn order to send a message to an inReach through a MapShare page, the owner of the inReach account must have enabled MapShare for the inReach device and set the options of the MapShare so visitors are able to message the device.
Visit the MapShare page for the inReach device to be messaged.
Select the inReach device to be messaged.
Click Message.
In the Send Message window enter your e-mail address or phone number and message.
Click Send.
