# Chats from other apps on your phone
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/mobile-social-chats

Instagram, WhatsApp and the other chats Aden desktop reads through Beeper show in the mobile chat list, one row per person, relayed from your Mac while it's on.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

The chats you read in Aden desktop's Links (Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger
and the rest, through Beeper) also show in the mobile Chat tab, mixed in
with your Aden chats by their latest message.

## How it works [#how-it-works]

* One row per person. Someone on several apps is one row, the same way
  Links merges them on your Mac, including people you tied together by hand.
* Open a person to read and reply. When they're on several apps, a tab per
  app switches between them.
* Long press a message to react. Tap a reaction to add or take back yours.
* Send photos, videos and files with the + next to the reply box. Hold the
  microphone to record a voice note; it arrives as a voice note in the app.
* Start a chat from the compose button: pick the app, find the person and,
  if you want, write the first message.
* Photos show in the chat. Videos, voice notes and files are named, and play
  on your Mac.
* Your Mac does the work: Aden has to be open on it, signed in, with Beeper
  connected. When it's off, the list says so and the chats come back once
  it's on.

## Turning it off [#turning-it-off]
