Features and Options
You can find a list of all of your Conversations, along with useful features and options, on the Conversations Tab.
When you navigate to a Conversation that has new unread Messages, Zinc shows you exactly where new Messages begin in the timeline. Your view also begins with the first unread Message instead of the most recent Message, which removes the need to scroll back up in the timeline to catch up. When there are many unread Messages, you can tap Jump to Recent to view the most recent Messages. Additionally, unread Messages in which you are mentioned are marked with an @ symbol.
To access Zinc features and options, tap or click any of the following options.
Tabs
The following options are available on the Tab Bar, which appears on:
• Zinc Mobile: The bottom of your device screen.
