Owners, admins and chatters OnlyX works in your phone’s web browser. On a small screen, the inbox shows one thing at a time: the list, one conversation, or the fan panel.

​
Before you start

  • Open OnlyX in your phone’s browser and sign in.
  • This article applies to any screen less than 1024 pixels wide. That includes most phones, and small tablets held upright.
  • A chatter sees only the conversations of their assigned creators.

​
Find your way around

On a phone there is no sidebar. The tab bar at the bottom of the screen takes its place.
  • Owners and admins see Dashboard, Inbox, Analytics and More.
  • Chatters see Inbox and More.
Tap More for the other pages your role can open, such as Creators, Billing, Settings and Referrals. The More sheet also has the SFW switch and your account menu. In the list, each conversation has three dots (⋮) that are always visible. They open the same menu as on a computer.
