Help
Questions, answered.
A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.
Do I lose the website chat if I install?
Claiming an account is how a guest chat moves over. Do that on purpose, not on a borrowed computer.
Where do friends and files live?
In the app, after you claim an account. The browser chat stays text.
