Working With Yahoo! Updates

Here’s How

1. In your main Messenger window, select Manage Updates I Broadcast from the Messenger menu. (You can also find a similar link in the Yahoo! Updates category of the Preferences window and on your contact card.)

   Your Updates page opens in a Web browser.

2. Choose the Updates you want to share and who you’d like to share with;

   • If you’d like to share Updates, keep the Share My Updates box checked, and then fine tune your visibility by making a choice—Anyone, My Connections, No One—from the pull-down list to the right of each Update type.

     

   • To view and manage all sources used for Updates, click the Show All Yahoo! Sources link.

     

   • If you want to opt out of Update sharing, uncheck the Share My Updates box.

     

     If you later decide to share Updates again, just reselect the Share My Updates option.

3. Click the Save button.

What’s Next

The Updates you share with your connections only will not be visible to them through Messenger. They will be able to see them in their profiles on Yahoo! and Yahoo! Mail.
