How Do I Get the Mobile App for iOS?

- If you reached the App Store manually, search for Clarity Office Anywhere.
- Choose Install.
- The App will download to your device, and you will be prompted by a Login screen.
How Do I Login to the Mobile App?
Login to the Mobile App is simple! Your Extension login credentials also work for the Mobile App. If you make a password change, both your Portal and Mobile App will update for you!
- Open your Mobile App. You will always open to the Login screen if you are not yet logged in. Type in your Portal Extension login credentials.
- Your username will always be your extension, the @ symbol, and then your domain's name. For example: 200@domainname. Your password will be the same as your Portal Extension password.
- No Portal access or not sure what your login credentials are? You can choose Forgot Login or Forgot Password, right from the App.
- The first time that you login (or after a reinstall), you will need to "allow access" to the Microphone, Contacts, and other options. If you accept, click Accept.
- Click Login.
Making a Call with the Mobile App
- From the Contacts, Voicemail, or Call History views, you’ll see the orange dial pad located at the bottom right corner.

- When dialing is complete, press the green Phone icon to begin the call.
Receiving Inbound Calls in the Mobile App
If you have added the Mobile App to your Inbound Routing, you will be able to receive your business calls to your cell phone.
- When there is an incoming call, the caller's Caller ID and answer and hang-up buttons will be displayed.
- Tap the Answer icon to accept the call.
- If you are not able to take the call or need to take the call on another device, choose Reject. The call will continue to ring other devices that are in your Routing.
Note:
If you are going to use the Mobile App for Inbound Calls, it is best practice to always set the Mobile App to "display over other apps", so that you can visually see the Alert in addition to the audible ring tone.
If your device does not prompt you for this option, you may reach it in the Android Settings, then App notifications. Choose Clarity, then choose your preferred Notification type.
