There are several main navigation features you’ll need to know to get started on the mobile app using an iOS or Android device.

Top header bar

The top header bar contains features such as your profile menu, a search bar, settings, and a quick actions button, although this may depend on where you are in the app.  
 
For example, when you’re in the Message menu, the top header bar contains the following from left to right:
  • Your profile menu
  • A search bar for your messages or contact list
  • A plus icon, which acts as a shortcut to create a new message, invite contacts, and create a team conversation. On iPhone, this plus icon appears at top right
