"The Mac" on these pages means Squad for Mac. Squad for iPhone and iPad has three tabs in a bar that floats at the bottom of the screen, and your chief of staff's face beside the bar. ## The tabs | Tab | What it holds | Its number | | - | - | - | | **Today** | How the day is going, what needs you, who works, what got done, and what comes next. See [Today](https://squad.so/docs/ios/today.md). | Everything that needs you, in orange. | | **Chats** | Your conversations with teammates and groups, newest first, with search. See [Chats and conversations](https://squad.so/docs/ios/chats.md). | Conversations with new replies, in blue. | | **Squad** | Your chief of staff, your teammates, and the people in your squad. See [Your squad](https://squad.so/docs/ios/squad.md). | None. | * Each tab keeps its place when you leave it and come back. * Select the tab you are on again to go back to its start. * A conversation fills the screen. The tab bar steps out of the way, and the message box takes its place. Select **Back** to see the bar again. * When a link or a notification opens a conversation, the app moves to **Chats**. ## The face beside the tab bar Your chief of staff's face sits beside the tab bar on every tab. * **Tap it** to open the **Ask** sheet. Type what you need and select **Send**. See [Ask in one sentence](https://squad.so/docs/ios/chats.md#ask-in-one-sentence). * **Touch and hold it** to talk. Let go to send your words. See [Talk to your squad](https://squad.so/docs/ios/talk-to-your-squad.md). A Viewer has no face beside the tab bar, because a Viewer cannot send messages. ## Sheets that open over the app These open as a sheet over the tab you are on. Select **Done** or **Cancel**, or swipe the sheet down, to close it. | Sheet | How to open it | | - | - | | **You** | Your initial at the top right of **Today** or **Squad**. See [You and this iPhone](https://squad.so/docs/ios/you.md). | | **Ask** | Tap the face, select **New conversation** on **Chats**, or select an idea. A few buttons open it too, for example **Ask your chief of staff** when a search finds nothing. | | A document, an email, a task, a contact, or a deal | A search result on **Chats**, a card in a conversation, a finished task or one of your steps on **Today**, a deal on a contact's page, or a link. See [Read a document, an email, or a task](https://squad.so/docs/ios/chats.md#read-a-document-an-email-or-a-task). | | **What's new** and **What your squad can do** | Inside the **You** sheet. A link in a message opens them as their own sheet. | | **Invite someone** | **Invite someone** on **Squad**, for the owner and Administrators. | | **Join a squad** | **I have an invite link**, or a `squad://invite/` link. | | **Before your squad starts** | Opens by itself when you have not accepted the Terms of Service. You cannot swipe it away. | ## On an iPad The iPad has the same three tabs and the same screens as the iPhone. The screens keep a column of readable width in the middle, and the tab bar stays narrow at the bottom. A conversation's message bar spans the whole width of the screen. On iPhone the app shows in portrait only. On iPad it turns with the device. ## Search * **Search** at the top of **Chats** finds conversations by teammate, title, and last message. From the second letter, it also finds documents and email. See [Search](https://squad.so/docs/ios/chats.md#search). * iOS Spotlight finds your teammates, the tasks that are not done, and your docs. A teammate opens a conversation with them. A task or a doc opens to read. ## Links that open the app Links that start with `squad://` open the app. Some of them: | Link | Opens | | - | - | | `squad://today` | **Today**. | | `squad://decide` | **Today**, where what needs you is listed. | | `squad://team/` and a teammate's ID or inbox name | A conversation with that teammate. Without a teammate, a conversation with your chief of staff. | | `squad://delegate/` and a teammate's ID or inbox name | A conversation with that teammate. Without a teammate, **Today**. | | `squad://invite/` and a token | **Join a squad**, with that invite. An `https://squad.so/invite/` link opens the website instead. Paste it in **Join a squad**. | Inside the app, a squad.so dashboard link in a message opens the same place in the app when the app has it. A link to a document, an email, a task, a contact, or a deal opens it to read. A link to a project opens **Chats** with that project's conversations. A link to Contacts without a contact or a deal, or to the **Wallet**, opens **Today**. A link that arrives while a page is open closes that page first. A link to settings opens the **You** sheet. A link to a place that the app does not have, for example runs, routines, skills, or your cloud computer, opens the **Squad** tab. A Squad docs link opens in the browser. A `squad://` link that names another of your squads opens that squad first. ## Appearance The app has a light and a dark look. By default it matches your iPhone or iPad. To choose, open the **You** sheet and select **Match iPhone**, **Light**, or **Dark** under **This iPhone**. On an iPad, these are **Match iPad** and **This iPad**. The choice applies at once, and only on this device. The widgets follow the look of your Home Screen. The Live Activity card on the Lock Screen is always dark. ## Text size The app follows the text size that you set in iOS, up to the largest accessibility sizes. At the accessibility sizes, sheets open at full height and the teammate cards on **Squad** show one per row. The tab bar stops growing at a certain size. Touch and hold a tab to see its name large.
