This guide explains how to access Chat, start new threads, manage notifications, and use the main chat features on the mobile app.
Overview of Chat in ClickUp on Mobile
Chat in the mobile version of ClickUp is designed for fast, focused communication about your work. You can open existing chat views, send messages, and react to conversations directly from your phone.
On the mobile app, chat activity is synced with the web and desktop versions, so you see the same messages, reactions, and threads across all devices.

Once the view is open, you will see the message history, reactions, and any attachments that were shared previously.
Start a New Chat in ClickUp
Depending on the configuration of your workspace, you may be able to create new Chat views directly from the mobile app.

Send Messages in ClickUp Chat on Mobile
Sending a message in a Chat view on the ClickUp mobile app is quick and familiar.

Mentions help you notify specific people or reference work items directly in Chat.
- Type the
@symbol followed by a person’s name to mention a teammate. - Use available mention options to reference tasks, Docs, or other items when supported in your workspace.
- Mentioning someone typically sends them a notification so they can quickly respond.
This keeps conversations connected to the right people and work without leaving ClickUp Chat.

Sometimes you want to acknowledge a message without sending a full reply. Reactions let you respond quickly on mobile.
Add reactions in ClickUp Chat
- Press and hold a message in the Chat view.

- Your reaction is added to the message and visible to others in the Chat view.
Reactions can be used to show agreement, approval, or status, helping reduce extra messages while still keeping communication clear.
