The Basics Of Slack
Download the desktop and mobile apps
Though the web app is fully functional, we recommend downloading the
desktop and mobile versions of Slack to get the most out of the tool.
Here’s a list of Slack apps for computers, smartphones and tables.
Mobile apps
The mobile app is very helpful for team members on the go. It may be a
good idea to set your status as “inactive” on your phone. You’ll still be able
to send and receive messages, but your team members will have different
expectations if you appear to be working at your computer or if you are out
and about.
To do this, tap the menu icon in the top right of the screen and go to settings.
From there you can toggle the “active” status on your phone.
Do not disturb for iPhone
If you have a team distributed around
the world, it is likely you’ll receive Slack
notifications in the middle of the night
on your phone. We recommend setting
up “Do Not Disturb” on your phone.
Unfortunately, this will also silence
most calls, texts and other notifications
on your phone, so it is not a perfect
system.
There is a way you can automate “Do
Not Disturb” mode on your phone
so it will automatically switch on. I
recommend setting this for about 1
hour before you go to bed.
Go to Settings then Do Not Disturb.
