3. Enable security options:

   • Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) if available.

Using G-Messenger: Basic Workflows

• Starting a chat: Tap the new message icon, select a contact, and type.
• Creating a group: Choose “New Group,” add members, set a group name and photo.
• Making calls: Open a chat and tap the voice or video call icon. For group calls, start from the group page.
• Sending files: Use the attachment icon to pick photos, videos, or documents. Large files may upload to cloud storage with a link shared in chat.
• Reacting & replying: Long-press a message to react or choose “Reply” to quote a message.
• Pinning & starring: Pin important chats to the top or star messages for quick access.

Advanced Features & Tips

• Use bots for automation: Add bots to fetch data, schedule reminders, or post updates from other services (e.g., calendars, task managers).
• Keyboard shortcuts (desktop): Learn shortcuts for faster navigation—common ones include Ctrl/Cmd+K to jump between chats and Ctrl/Cmd+F to search.
• Custom notifications: Set keyword alerts for channels or mute noisy groups during work hours.
• Archive vs. delete: Archive chats to hide them without losing history; delete for permanent removal.
• Integrations: Connect storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) for seamless file sharing; link calendars for scheduling within chats.

Security & Privacy Best Practices

• Keep the app updated to receive security patches.
• Use a strong, unique password and enable 2FA.
• Verify encryption keys for sensitive contacts (if the app supports safety numbers/verification).
• Limit contact sync and be cautious about granting permissions.
• Regularly review active sessions and revoke unknown devices.
• For enterprise use, enable admin controls, enforce device policies, and consider single sign-on (SSO).

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Unable to send messages: Check internet connection, app permissions, and server status.
• Calls dropping or poor quality: Switch to Wi‑Fi, check bandwidth, or use audio-only mode.
• Not receiving verification SMS: Request code resend, ensure correct phone number, or use email verification if available.
• Sync problems across devices: Ensure desktop/web client is linked to the same account; re-login if necessary.
• Storage full: Clear cache in settings or manage media auto-download options.

Admin & Enterprise Features

• User provisioning: Use SSO or directory sync for onboarding.
• Compliance: Message retention policies, export tools, and audit logs for compliance requirements.
• Device management: Enforce app-level encryption, block jailbroken/rooted devices, and require device passcodes.
• Role-based access control: Assign admin/moderator roles, limit who can create public channels, and set approval workflows for invites.

Migration & Backup

• Local backups: Export chat history locally or to cloud storage (encrypted when possible).
• Migration tools: Use built-in transfer tools to move chats between phone numbers or platforms.
• Retention settings: Configure automatic backups and retention periods for compliance or personal preference.
