Drag to Reveal TimestampsLink to this part

Drag messages horizontally to reveal exact timestamps:

• Your messages - Swipe left to reveal timestamp on the right

Tap the info icon in the chat header to access the Chat Info screen. This provides:

Partner ProfileLink to this part

See your partner's name and avatar at the top.

Search TabLink to this part

Search through all your messages to find specific conversations. Results are clickable and take you directly to that message in context.

Media TabLink to this part

Browse all photos and images shared in your conversations. Tap any image to view it full-screen or jump to it in the chat.

Files TabLink to this part

Browse all documents and files shared in your conversations. Tap to download or preview files.

Links TabLink to this part

Browse all links shared in your conversations. Links show previews where available. Tap to open in your browser or jump to the message containing the link.

NavigationLink to this part

When you tap a search result, media item, file, or link from the Chat Info screen, the chat scrolls directly to that message and highlights it with a brief flash (2 seconds) so you can easily spot it in context.

This also works when navigating to a message from global search (outside of Chat Info) - the chat opens and scrolls to the specific message.

Using @Mentions in ChatLink to this part

You can use @mentions in your messages to reference items in your shared account:

• @person - Link to a saved contact (e.g., "@Mom")
• @location - Link to a saved location (e.g., "@Target")
• @task - Link to a task (e.g., "@Buy groceries")
• @event - Link to an event (e.g., "@Date Night")
• @note - Link to a note (e.g., "@Shopping List")

Type @ followed by a few letters to see matching suggestions. You can also use QQ as a quick keyboard shortcut to trigger the mention menu.

PrivacyLink to this part

• All messages are private between you and your partner
• Messages sync across your devices in real-time
• No one else can see your conversations
• Deleted messages are removed from both devices

TipsLink to this part

1. Use reactions for quick responses - A quick ❤️ or 👍 is often better than typing "ok"

2. Reply to keep context - When responding to a specific earlier message, use Reply to keep the thread clear

3. Search when you can't find something - The search feature scans all messages, making it easy to find that restaurant recommendation from months ago

4. Check Chat Info for shared content - Instead of scrolling back through the chat, use the Media, Files, or Links tabs to find what you're looking for

5. Use @mentions for context - Instead of typing "check the grocery list," mention it directly with @Shopping List so your partner can tap to open it
