#### How do I set my offline behavior?

The offline behavior in the sipgate app can be turned on or off. By default, it is disabled so that calls are always delivered via the sipgate app.\
If you want to activate offline routing, only the sipgate app may be used. If the offline behavior cannot be activated, the sipgate app for iOS/Android may still be connected. In this case, please contact sipgate Support to delete the mobile device.

#### Which keyboard shortcuts can I use in the sipgate app?

In the article [**Which keyboard shortcuts can I use in the sipgate app?** ](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/14385329985309-Welche-Tastaturk%C3%BCrzel-kann-ich-in-der-sipgate-App-CLINQ-verwenden)you will find the most important shortcuts for the desktop version of the sipgate app. In addition, you have the option of accepting and rejecting incoming calls using shortcuts, even when the app is not active in the foreground.

#### Can I automatically set my app status to "busy" when my iPhone is in focus mode?

If you use the mobile version of the sipgate app on an iOS device, you can set up a shortcut in the device settings. This will automatically set your status in the app to **"busy"** when your device switches to **"focus mode"** (also **"Do Not Disturb mode"**). You can set up this automation with the **"Shortcuts"**app. If you do not already have the app installed, you can [download it from the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/de/app/kurzbefehle/id1462947752). The following video shows how it all works in just a few clicks.
