# Mobile app

Chat with your bots, answer their questions, watch their computers and take calls from your phone.

## Install

- iPhone: [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/xieling/id6801531099).
- Android: [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xieling.app).

You can also choose **Get the mobile app** from the account menu in the web or desktop app.

## Sign in

Sign in with your xieling.app account. To use your own server instead, tap **Use a custom server** on
the sign-in screen and enter its address. For a server on your local network, follow
[Connecting a phone on the same network](/docs/self-host-clients/#connecting-a-phone-on-the-same-network).

## What you can do

- Chat with bots and groups, attach photos, files or camera shots, and talk instead of typing.
- Answer questions and [approvals](/docs/approvals/), and save credentials a bot asks for.
- Open a bot's profile to see its **Computer**, **Routines** and settings.
- Take control of a bot's computer, with an on-screen keyboard.
- Call a bot, or answer when a bot calls you. See [Voice and calls](/docs/voice-and-calls/).
- Connect apps, manage skills, models, voice, approvals, chat apps and your vault from Settings.

The first time you send something, the app asks permission to share it with the AI services your
server uses. Review or withdraw it later in **AI data sharing** in Settings.

Turn off **Haptics** in Settings if you don't want touch feedback.

## What stays on web and desktop

- Creating or editing [routines](/docs/routines/). On mobile you can pause, delete and review them, or
  ask the bot in chat to set one up.
- [Teach a task](/docs/skills/#teach-a-task-by-showing-it).
- [Using your own computer](/docs/desktop-app/) with bots.

## Notifications

Bots notify you when they finish or need input, controlled per bot with
**When it finishes or needs input** in its settings.

On Android, **Notifications** in Settings also lets you choose which kinds you get, including a live
working status while a bot runs.

## Shortcuts and Siri

On iPhone, Xieling adds actions to Shortcuts, Siri and the Action button:

- **Message Bot** and **Ask Bot**: send a message. Ask Bot also returns the reply.
- **Record Message**: talk, then pause or press again to send it to the bot whose chat you opened last.
  Progress shows in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen.
- **Open Bot**, **Start Voice Chat** and **Run Routine**.

## Share to a bot

On Android, share text, images, audio, video, PDFs or files from another app to Xieling and pick the
bot to send them to.
