Heartbeat Desktop vs. Mobile App Features

  • Updated

Most setup and settings live on desktop. If a button or menu is missing on your phone, that is almost always why. The Heartbeat mobile apps are built for taking part in your community. Creating and configuring it happens in a desktop web browser at app.heartbeat.chat.

Where to do what

What you are trying to do Where
Read and post in channels, send DMs, join events, take courses, read documents, browse the member directory Anywhere
Cancel or change your subscription, view billing Desktop only
Create or edit an Offer or an Event Desktop only
Role management, permissions, Community Settings Desktop only
Onboarding questions, Matchups configuration, audience targeting Desktop only
API keys, custom domains, affiliate and referral program, admin controls on the member directory Desktop only
Delete a post or comment, post to a read-only channel, view groups when composing a DM Either

All configuration, setup and creation happens through a desktop web browser. On mobile, admins can moderate content and see admin prompts such as matchmaking notices and video processing status, but the configuration behind them is desktop only.

Heartbeat on mobile

There is no mobile browser version of Heartbeat, so opening the site on your phone will not get you in. Install the app first: Download the Heartbeat Chat mobile app on iOS and Android.

The apps sign you in with a one-time code rather than a magic link, so tapping a magic link on your phone will not open the app. See I can't login to my Heartbeat account.
