I just noticed today that when a user puts the word “phone” in there custom status messages, a phone icon appears in the Spark IM client.
Are there any other icons that come up based on status messages?
This appears to be a bug in Spark. I filed it as SPARK-227.

Really? I actually think it was very cool and liked the idea that certain key words would enable different presence icons. I was hoping that there were more actually.
Well, if that isn’'t the intended behavior, then I would suggest it for a feature in the next version. I really like it.
Icons for things like phone, lunch, home, etc would be quite cool.
Hi Eric,
what a nice discovery!
I’‘d also vote for an extension of these behavior. It’‘s not quite cool, it’'s very hot.

Bump to get this feature included rather than removed
I changed the issue description. We won’‘t get rid of the “feature” and could even expand it in the future. However, it is a bug that we’‘re not looking for the presence extension that asterisk-IM sets. If it’'s there, we should show the phone icon no matter what the presence text says.
