Interface tour
Now that you are all set up with your new TextUp account, take a quick moment to familiarize yourself with an overview of the TextUp interface.
Mobile interface
This contacts list page is the main page of the mobile interface. Selecting any of the contacts will take you to the record of communication for that contact.
Select the search icon in the upper right to search for a contact by name or phone number.
Select the circular icon in the upper left to open up the side menu. This menu is where a large part of TextUp’s functionality lives.
From the top of the mobile side menu downwards:
- Account switcher and settings Open the account switcher to switch between all the TextUp phone numbers you have access to or to log out. Select the gear icon to access settings.
- Availability Configure when you are available to receive notifications. When you are not available, the away message and voice type TextUp will use to respond to incoming texts or calls can also be configured here.
- Compose Send texts to any combination of contacts, tags (groups of contacts), and individual phone numbers.
- Call Keypad to make phone calls to contacts.
