Where to find it
Incoming request in a chat
This concerns your online status: may this person see whether you are available? Accepting the request does not determine whether messages use OMEMO, OpenPGP or no end-to-end encryption.
You can accept or decline the request. Check the address if you do not recognise the person. Sharing online status can also determine access to an XMPP feed restricted to contacts.
