The Bots, Routines and Settings tabs, your bots and threads, search, teams, the New menu, and every gesture in Machine Mobile.

Canonical page: https://themachine.myapps.ai/docs/desktop/mobile/find-your-way-around

## The three tabs

At the bottom of the home screen:

| Tab | What's there |
|---|---|
| **Bots** | All your bots and group chats. Tap one to open it. |
| **Routines** | Your automations. See [Routines](/docs/desktop/mobile/routines). |
| **Settings** | Your profile, appearance, usage and more. See [Settings](/docs/desktop/mobile/settings). |

## Bots

![The Bots tab](/images/docs/desktop/phone-home.webp)

Each bot shows:

- Its **mascot**, with a status dot, the same as in the desktop sidebar:
  **blue** while it works, **red** when its last run failed, and **green**
  when it's ready.
- Its **name** and when you last talked.
- A second line: **Working…** while it's busy, otherwise its last message.
- A number when threads have something new.

Your bots are grouped: **Pinned** first, then **Group chats**, then bots
under **Today**, **This week** and **Earlier**.

If you use teams, the list follows them instead: **Pinned**, then **Group
chats** that aren't in a team, then a heading for each team with its bots
and group chats, and last **Other bots** for bots that aren't in a team. Tap
a team's name to fold it.

### Search

Type in **Search** at the top. A couple of letters filters your bots and
group chats by name; keep typing to search inside messages too.

## Threads

Tap a bot to see its threads.

- Each thread shows its title, when it last changed, and the last thing said.
- A **green dot** means the thread's computer is awake.
- A **PC badge** means the thread works on someone's [This PC](/docs/desktop/this-pc/overview),
  with **online** or **offline**.
- Tap **+** to start a new thread. **Search threads** finds one by name.
- Tap the bot's name at the top to open its profile and settings.

Group chats skip this screen and open straight into the chat.

## The New menu

Tap **+** at the top of the Bots tab:

| Choice | Does |
|---|---|
| **New Project** | Create a new bot. |
| **New room** | A group chat: *"Several bots, one chat."* Name it, pick a team, pick its members. |
| **New team** | A heading to group bots under: *"Group bots under a header."* |

## Pins and previews are per phone

Pinned threads and thread previews are kept on each phone. Pinning a thread
on your phone doesn't pin it on Machine Desktop.
