# How does the status display work in your sipgate app?

If a contact has an email address linked to a sipgate account and is marked as a favorite, you can view their status. Likewise, sipgate app users who have your email address can see your status.

**Why am I unable to see my sipgate contact's status?**

Make sure you've saved the contact with the correct email address. Additionally, the contact must be marked as a favorite.
