# Using Zulip on Android
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
Zulip has an Android application, compatible with Android versions 3.2 and
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
higher. The app can be downloaded from the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
[Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zulipmobile).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
## Initial setup
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Connecting to a server
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
When you open the app for the first time or after you log out, a screen asking
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
for your server's address appears. You have to write the server's URL in it, and
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
press **Enter**.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
!!! warn ""
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    **Note:** There's no need to add `https://` in case your server is running a secure
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    HTTP (HTTPS) protocol.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    However, if your server uses an insecure HTTP connection, you'll have to
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    write `http://` manually. A message will appear, warning you about the risks
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    of using this type of connections. In case you have no other choice, choose the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    **Use HTTP** option.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Logging in
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
After connecting to the server, you'll be able to log in either with an email
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
address and a password, or using your Google account.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* If you decide to log in with an email/password combination, enter your email
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
address in the **Email** field and your password in the **Password** field,
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
then press **Log in**.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* If you prefer to log in with your Google account, press the **Log in with Google** button.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    You will be asked to choose which one do you want to use from those you have
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    configured in your device.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Logging in (development servers)
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
The Android application supports connecting to development servers as well. To
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
do so, choose the **Dev backend testing server** option from the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
**Authentication Options** menu, and select the account you want to use.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Logging out
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
You only need to log out when you want to switch to another account or server.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
To do so, tap the overflow ( <i class="icon-vector-ellipsis-vertical"></i> )
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
icon in the top right corner of the screen, and choose **Log out**.

### Narrowing to a stream
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
There are multiple ways of narrowing to a stream in Zulip's Android app.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
By swiping to the right from the border of the screen or clicking the menu (<i
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
class="icon-vector-reorder"></i>) icon, you'll be able to see a list of the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
streams you're subscribed to. You can tap one of them to narrow to that stream.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
!!! tip ""
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    You can also click on the stream name of a message to automatically narrow
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    your message list to only show messages from the pressed stream.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Narrowing to a topic
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
You can narrow your message list to a specific topic by tapping the name of the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
topic over a message.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Searching for messages
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
You can search your organization for specific messages by using [search operators](/help/search-for-messages).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
1. Tap the search (<i class="icon-vector-search"></i>)
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
icon at the top of the screen.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
2. Enter the [search operators](/help/search-for-messages#search-operators)
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
that you want to use to narrow your messages.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
3. Press the **Enter** key in your keyboard to begin your search.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Filtering messages
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
You can filter the messages in your message list.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
1. Press the filter ()
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
icon on the top right side of the screen.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
2. Select the filtering criteria from the dropdown that appears.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
3. The message list will refresh to show only the filtered messages.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Manually refreshing the message list
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
The messages will appear automatically as they are sent. However, you can
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
manually refresh them by:
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* scrolling to the bottom of the message list
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* clicking the overflow (
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
<i class="icon-vector-ellipsis-vertical"></i> ) icon in the top right corner
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
and choosing the **Refresh** option from the dropdown that appears.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
### Day/Night Themes
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
Zulip's Android app offers two different themes: one lighter (day theme), and
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
one with dark colors (night theme) that makes reading more comfortable when
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
there isn't much light.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
To switch between the two themes, click the overflow ( <i
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
class="icon-vector-ellipsis-vertical"></i> ) icon at the top right corner of the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
screen and choosing the **Switch Day/Night Theme** option from the dropdown that
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
appears.

# Using Zulip on Windows
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
Zulip has a Windows client, compatible with Windows versions 7, 8 and 10; it is identical in
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
functionality to the Zulip web application. The client
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
can be download through the [Zulip website](https://zulip.org/).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
The client is regularly updated and is a wrapper of the web application, but with enhanced
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
notifications and can run in the background. The current version does not contain
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
any significant features additional to those in the web application.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
!!! warn ""
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    **Note:** Since Zulip is no longer running on a browser, many external keyboard shortcuts
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    endemic to a browser will no longer work, for example, ALT-LEFT to go back to the previous page.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
## Connecting to a server
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
When you open the Zulip client for the first time, you will come across a screen
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
asking for your organizations's server address on Zulip. Enter your organization's
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
address and press the **Connect** button.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
!!! warn ""
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    There's no need to add `https://` in the case that your server is running a secure
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
    HTTP (HTTPS) protocol.

 |

			||||||
    of using this type of connections. In case you have no other choice, choose the

    **Use HTTP** option.
