🏅▷ How to use Slack app on mobile phone

Slack is an app for teams and employees who want to make it easier for them to communicate with each other and make everyday work more productive. The app, which is available for Android and iPhone (iOS), in addition to the web version, has as its main functionality individual chats and the creation of conversations in channels, which can be organized by projects or specific subjects. You can make audio, video and even video conference calls, and share files and documents. The platform also allows you to integrate tools that automate team-relevant actions such as other applications and bots.

Remember that Slack is a paid tool, but has a free and limited version for those who want to test the basic features. You don't need to be linked to a company to use the app, as you can create your own workplace (work environment) to optimize communication of projects and other actions. Here's a walkthrough of how to perform the main functions of the Slack app.
