Setting the Welcome Message Mode

By default, a welcome message that explains how to show Instabug will be shown to your app users within 10 seconds of starting their first session after the SDK is integrated. The welcome mode can be set to live, beta, or disabled using the method below. The default welcome mode is set to live.

The popups that appear follow the color theme and primary color that you set for the SDK.

You can also edit the content of the message using the method and keys found in the Locale page.

Instabug.setWelcomeMessageMode(Instabug.welcomeMessageMode.beta) // For beta testers
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageMode(Instabug.welcomeMessageMode.live) // For live users
Instabug.setWelcomeMessageMode(Instabug.welcomeMessageMode.disabled) // Disable welcome message

Showing the Welcome Message Manually

Instead of showing the welcome message automatically, you can manually show the welcome message in either live or beta mode using the following method.

Instabug.showWelcomeMessage(Instabug.welcomeMessageMode.beta) // For beta testers
Instabug.showWelcomeMessage(Instabug.welcomeMessageMode.live) // For live users

If your invocation method is set to "none", the welcome message will not appear to your users.

Live Welcome Message

This mode is primarily aimed at users of your production builds, or live apps.

A single popup appears to your users with instructions on how to show Instabug depending on the invocation method you're using.

Beta Welcome Message
