Use comments in the ClickUp mobile app
The ClickUp mobile app makes it easy to stay connected with your team by adding, viewing, and managing comments wherever you are.
This guide explains how to use task comments, assigned comments, and threaded discussions on mobile so you can keep work moving, even when you are away from your desk.
Open comments on a ClickUp task
On the mobile app, each task has a dedicated place where you can read and add comments.
- Open the ClickUp mobile app and log in if needed.
- Browse or search to find the task you want to discuss.
- Tap the task to open its details.
- Scroll to the activity and comment area at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the comment field to start typing your message.
You will see existing comments in a chronological feed so you can quickly catch up on the latest updates.
Add new comments in ClickUp on mobile
Use comments to ask questions, share status updates, or provide feedback on a task.
- From the task detail view, tap the comment input field.
- Type your message. You can include details such as progress, blockers, or requested changes.
- Use the toolbar options, if available, to adjust formatting or insert links.
- Tap the send or check icon to post the comment.
Your comment appears in the activity feed for that task so everyone with access can see it.
Mention people and teams in ClickUp comments
Mentioning people makes sure the right teammates see your message.
- In the comment field, type
@. - Select a person, team, or other available option from the mention list.
- Finish typing your comment.
- Post the comment to notify the mentioned users.
Mentions help keep communication targeted and reduce confusion on busy tasks.
Create assigned comments in ClickUp
Assigned comments let you turn a comment into a lightweight action item directly inside the ClickUp task.
- Type your comment as usual.
- Tap the option to assign the comment, if shown in the toolbar or menu.
- Choose one or more assignees.
- Set a due date, if available.
- Post the comment.
The assigned comment appears with an assignee indicator and, if supported, a due date so everyone knows who is responsible.
Manage assigned comments in ClickUp
Once you create assigned comments, you can track and resolve them on mobile.
- View open assigned comments: Scroll through the task comments to see items with assignees and due dates.
- Reassign a comment: Open the comment menu and select a different assignee if you need to hand off the work.
- Mark as resolved: When the action is complete, use the resolve option to close the assigned comment.
Resolving assigned comments keeps the conversation clear and shows that work is done.
Reply to threads in ClickUp comments
Threads keep conversations organized by grouping related replies under a single comment.
- Find the comment you want to reply to in the task feed.
- Tap the reply or thread icon under that comment.
- Type your response in the reply field.
- Post your reply to add it to the thread.
Using threads prevents long, scattered conversations and makes it easy to follow specific discussions.
Follow and unfollow ClickUp threads
When you participate in or follow a thread, you can stay updated on every new reply.
- Follow a thread: Tap the follow option in the thread menu so you receive notifications.
- Unfollow a thread: If the conversation is no longer relevant, use the unfollow option to stop updates.
Managing your threads helps you focus on the conversations that matter most.
Edit or delete comments in the ClickUp app
If you make a mistake or need to update information, you can edit or delete your own comments.
- Locate your comment in the task feed.
- Tap and hold the comment, or open its options menu.
- Select Edit to change the text, then save your updates.
- Or select Delete to remove the comment, if this option is available for your workspace.
Use editing for small corrections and deletion only when a comment is no longer needed.
Use reactions on ClickUp comments
Reactions are a quick way to respond without posting another comment.
- Find the comment you want to react to.
- Tap the reaction or emoji icon under the comment.
- Select a reaction from the available list.
Reactions help reduce noise while still showing agreement, approval, or acknowledgement.
See activity and history in ClickUp comments
The activity area around comments gives you insight into how a task has changed over time.
- View system updates such as status changes, assignee changes, or due date updates.
- Scan the combined feed of comments and activity to understand the full context of the task.
This history helps new collaborators understand what has already been discussed and decided.
Tips for effective ClickUp collaboration on mobile
To get the most from comments in the mobile app, follow these best practices.
- Be specific: Explain what you need, by when, and from whom.
