# Get familiar with the mobile app

Learn the basics of using Porter on mobile.

The Porter mobile app has three tabs along the bottom of the screen: **Conversations**, **Record**, and **Account**. You can also open **Chat with Porter** from the top-right corner.

### **Chat with Porter**

Tap **Chat** in the top-right corner to open Chat with Porter. This is a general chat where you can ask questions about your conversations, performance, coaching, opportunities, and follow-ups.

You can also ask Porter about a specific conversation. Open the conversation and use **Chat with Porter** at the bottom of the screen.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://2671034909-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6CbdWFCK3k3xCglm07Jo%2Fuploads%2FSL8H4HNBqzUv2TdY3VRd%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=084240c1-17e6-42ef-b0ec-b6b145932035" alt=""><figcaption><p>Chat with Porter while viewing a conversation.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Because the chat is connected to the conversation you're viewing, Porter can answer questions about that specific interaction.

### **Keep recording while you browse**

When a recording is in progress, tap the down arrow at the top of the recorder to minimize the recording screen. This lets you continue navigating to other sections of the app without stopping the recording.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://2671034909-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6CbdWFCK3k3xCglm07Jo%2Fuploads%2Fofq1WOMAUxOT8Fc4PIoU%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=604b45d6-0b0b-4355-a86a-2b9dfd0d71b4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

When the recorder is minimized, a recording pill appears above the tab bar with a live waveform and the current recording time. Tap the recording pill to return to the full recorder.

<div align="center" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://2671034909-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6CbdWFCK3k3xCglm07Jo%2Fuploads%2Fu3XXmNXHnS7D3fzGcsFq%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=69ae23e3-6c8b-4422-bfea-633853a5f116" alt=""><figcaption><p>Recording minimized while on Record tab.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Minimizing the recorder does not stop the recording.

### **Go back**

When you open an option or screen from a tab, a left-pointing arrow appears in the upper-left corner.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://2671034909-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6CbdWFCK3k3xCglm07Jo%2Fuploads%2FDQbTKV7pkmjzmXFbGxGu%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=92a076f8-81ac-4b71-8f17-8ad45fc5d841" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Tap the arrow to return to the previous screen.
