InReach Data Field during activity: How to Use Messaging and SOS Features?

Hello everyone,

Can anyone explain how the InReach screen works when it’s added among the data fields of activities? Scrolling through the various screens, I can only see a preview of the messages, and I really hope that’s not the only function. I’d like to understand how to send an SOS or send preset messages.

All of this is possible from the widget I add for regular use of the watch, which then seems to be the same. The only difference is that from the widget, I can use the SOS sending function and all the others, while from the activity data field, I can’t do anything. Pressing the START/STOP button pauses the activity, so I can’t access the InReach menu as I would from the widget.

Looking forward to your response. Best regards.
