#### 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 to ensure that calls are always routed through **the sipgate app** and **sipgate app for iOS/Android**.

If you want to enable **Offline Routing**, only the sipgate App should be used. If the **Offline behavior** cannot be activated, **the sipgate app for iOS/Android** might still be connected. In this case, please contact sipgate support to remove the mobile device.

#### What keyboard shortcuts can I use in the sipgate App?

In the article [**What keyboard shortcuts can I use in the sipgate App?**](https://teamhelp.sipgate.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/21976931162397-What-keyboard-shortcuts-can-I-use-in-the-sipgate-App-CLINQ) you can find the most important **shortcuts** for the desktop version of the sipgate App. Additionally, you can use **shortcuts** to accept or decline incoming calls, even when the app is not in the foreground.

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

If you are using 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 to **busy** when your device switches to **Focus Mode** (also known as **Do Not Disturb Mode**). You can configure this automation using the **Shortcuts app**. If you haven't already installed it, you can download it from the **App Store**.
