Navigating the mobile app
The mobile app has a simplified layout compared to the desktop version. Here's what you'll find:
| Section | What's there |
|---|---|
| Home | Your assigned tasks, reminders, and recent activity |
| Inbox / Notifications | @mentions, comments, and task updates |
| Spaces / Lists | Your project lists and tasks |
| Search | Find any task by title or keyword |
| Profile | Your account settings and notification preferences |
Most of what you'll do as a client — reviewing tasks, leaving comments, approving work — is easy to do on mobile.
Reviewing and approving work on your phone
Open your Inbox. Tap the notification bell or the Inbox tab to see what needs your attention.
Tap a task to open it.
Read the description and comments. Scroll down to see the full task history.
Tap the comment box at the bottom to leave a reply. Type your approval or feedback, then tap Send.
Update the status by tapping the status badge near the top of the task. Choose Approved or Changes Requested as appropriate.
See How to approve work in ClickUp or How to request changes for more detail on what to write.
Setting up mobile notifications
When you first install the app, you'll be asked whether to allow notifications. We recommend saying yes — this is the best way to know when we've tagged you or when something needs your attention.
You can fine-tune which notifications you receive in the app settings. See Managing your ClickUp notifications for a full guide.
Save your battery
If ClickUp push notifications feel too frequent, you don't need to turn them all off. In your notification settings, keep @mentions and task assignments on, and turn off lower-priority events like subtask updates.
Attaching a photo from your phone
One handy feature on mobile: you can take a photo and attach it to a task in seconds. This is useful for sharing a photo of something at your office, a printed mockup, or a reference image.
Open the task you want to attach a file to.
Tap the attachment icon (usually a paperclip or a plus button in the comment toolbar).
Choose "Camera" or "Photo Library." Take a new photo or select one from your gallery.
Add a comment explaining what the photo shows, then tap Send.
