# Distracted mode

Distracted mode is a simplified, on-the-go player. Larger buttons and a decluttered
screen make it easier to use when you're multitasking and can't fully focus on your
phone.

## Getting into distracted mode

- **From Home.** Tap the play area on any conversation card to catch up in distracted
  mode. It shows the conversation's unread count.
- **Inside a conversation.** Tap the distracted mode icon at the top.

## While you're in it

- Tap **"..."** for detailed message information, including engagement status and
  transcriptions.
- Flag messages as **Follow-up** to find them again later.

## Getting out

- Tap the **"x"** to exit and stop playing the message, or
- Tap the distracted mode icon in the upper right corner to return to the standard
  in-line player while the message keeps playing.
