# Your squad on iPhone and iPad

> The Squad tab in Squad for iPhone and iPad: your chief of staff, each teammate's page, routines, the people in your squad, and inviting someone.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Squad for iPhone and iPad is in beta, so it installs through Apple's TestFlight app. See [Get Squad for iPhone and iPad](https://squad.so/docs/ios/overview.md#get-squad-for-iphone-and-ipad). "The Mac" on these pages means Squad for Mac.

The **Squad** tab shows who is who: your chief of staff first, then each teammate, then the people in your squad.

## What the Squad tab shows

* **Your chief of staff**, in a large card with "Your chief of staff", what they do now, and a sentence that says to ask them for anything, because they hand it to the right teammate. **Message** opens a conversation with them. **Talk** starts listening. Select **Send** in the panel when you finish. See [Talk to your squad](https://squad.so/docs/ios/talk-to-your-squad.md).
* **Your teammates**, two cards per row. Each card shows the face, the name, and what the teammate does. A line under it says what they do now, "Waiting on you" in orange, or "Paused". A teammate who is free shows no line.
* **People**: the people in your squad, with "Owner" under the owner, and "Administrator" or "Viewer" under people with those roles.
* **Invite someone**, for the owner and Administrators. An Administrator whom the owner limited to some teammates does not see it.

A Viewer sees no **Message** and **Talk** buttons.

## A teammate's page

Select a teammate's card to open their page. It shows:

* Their face, name, and role, and a sentence: what they finished today, what they do right now, "Paused for now.", or "Nothing on right now."
* **Message** and the teammate's name, which opens your conversation with them. It opens where you left off, else their newest conversation, else a new one.
* The mic beside it. Hold it to talk to this teammate. See [Talk to your squad](https://squad.so/docs/ios/talk-to-your-squad.md).
* **Waiting on you**: what they wait on you for, as cards that you answer in place. See [Answer what needs you](https://squad.so/docs/ios/today.md#answer-what-needs-you).
* **Lately**: the last four tasks they finished. Select one to read it.
* **Routines**: their routines, with when each runs next, for example "Next in 5m", or "Paused". When Squad cannot read them from your cloud computer, it says so. Select **Check again**.

When the owner has not given you access to a teammate, their page says "The squad's owner hasn't given you access to" the teammate, and shows nothing else.

### Pause or run a routine

The owner and Administrators can pause a routine or run it now.

**1. Open the teammate's page**

On **Squad**, select the teammate. Scroll to **Routines**.

**2. Pause or resume**

Turn the routine's switch off to pause it, or on to resume it. A line at the top says it "is paused." or "is on again."

**3. Run it now**

Select **…** beside the routine, then **Run now**. A line at the top says it "is running now."

The switch shows the state that your cloud computer confirms. It is locked while the app checks the list again. "Changing what a routine does is at squad.so on a computer."

## Invite someone

The owner and Administrators can invite a person to the squad.

**1. Open the invite sheet**

On **Squad**, scroll to **People** and select **Invite someone**.

**2. Enter the email and the role**

Type the person's email under **Their email**. Pick **Collaborator**, **Administrator**, or **Viewer**. A sentence under the choice says what that role can do.

**3. Send the invite**

Select **Send invite**. A line at the top says "Invite sent. The link works for 7 days."

| Role | What the sheet says |
| - | - |
| **Collaborator** | "Works with the squad: talks to teammates and answers what they're asked." |
| **Administrator** | "Everything a collaborator does, and can change how the squad is set up." |
| **Viewer** | "Reads conversations and what got done, but can't send messages." |

If Squad refuses the invite, the sheet says why:

| Message | What to do |
| - | - |
| "That does not look like an email address." | Check the address. |
| "That is your own email. You are already here." | Type the other person's address. |
| "That person is already in your squad." | Nothing. Change their role on squad.so on a computer. |
| "Every seat is in use, so the invite hasn't gone out." | The phone does not buy seats. The owner adds a seat on squad.so on a computer, then you invite again. |
| "The invite could not be sent. Try again." | Try again. |
| "That invite didn't go through:" and a reason | Check your connection, then try again. |

For roles, see [Invite people to your squad](https://squad.so/docs/teammates.md).

## Remove a person

The owner and Administrators can remove a person from the squad. You cannot remove the owner or yourself.

**1. Find the person**

On **Squad**, scroll to **People**. Touch and hold the person's name.

**2. Remove them**

Select **Remove from squad**, then **Remove**. They lose access to the squad right away, and every account they connected is disconnected.

A line at the top says the person "is no longer in this squad." To bring them back, send a new invite.

## Join a squad from an invite

**1. Open the invite**

On a screen such as **No squad on this account yet** or **Your access has ended**, select **I have an invite link**. Paste the link from your invite email and select **Check invite**. Tapping the squad.so invite link opens the website, not the app. A `squad://invite/` link opens **Join a squad** directly.

**2. Accept it**

**Join a squad** shows who invited you and what you can do. Select **Accept invite**.

The squad opens. If the invite was already used, or it expired, the sheet says so.

## Switch squads

When you are in more than one squad, select your squad's name at the top of **Today**, then the other squad. You can also switch under **Your squads** in the **You** sheet. Nothing that was open stays open.

## Check that it works

On **Squad**, select a teammate, then **Message** and their name. Your conversation with them opens.
