In Qwil, conversations happen in chats. To start and continue conversations, learn how to send messages.

To send a message:

On web:

1. Type your message in the message field at the bottom of the screen.

2. Press Enter or click on the icon

   

   to send.

Note: If you'd like to send a message in several lines, type SHIFT + ENTER to start a new line. You can also change this setting in your Account & Settings by click on your avatar on your desktop so that ENTER starts a new line.

On mobile:

1. Type your message in the message field at the bottom of the screen.

2. Click on the icon

   

   to send.

Message drafts:

If you have any unfinished or unsent messages these will be considered a draft. You can see the draft label of a message in your chat list.

Having a draft message in a chat will automatically move that chat to the top of the chat list.

To discard a draft you simply need to erase the message from the message field.

Note: Drafts do not sync across different devices.

If a message fails to send:

On web:

You will see an error under the message. To re-send your message, click on 'Retry'

On mobile :

You will see an exclamation mark next to the failed message inside the chat. To re-send your message, tap the exclamation mark icon and select resend.
