# How to approve posts on mobile

If you approve posts for a client, the **Approvals** tab in the iPhone app lets you review and decide on the go. You see the same posts as on the web, and a decision on the phone counts exactly like one on the web.

## Before you start

- **You can approve for the client.** You're an approver on the client's team, or, for clients that use the default rule, an Admin or Owner. See [How approvals work](https://kredia.io/help/en/approvals/how-approvals-work).
- **The Approvals tab is visible.** It shows only for Owners, Admins, approvers, or when a post is waiting for you.

## Approve or request changes

1. Tap **Approvals**. The list opens on **Needs me**.
2. Tap a post to open it. Check the media, caption, time, and the **Approvers** list.
3. Optional: tap **Comments** to read or add a note, **Versions** to see what changed between versions, or **History** for everything that happened to the post.
4. Tap **Approve v2** (the number is the current version) to approve it.
5. Or tap **Request changes**, write what should change under **What should change?**, and tap **Send**. The author sees your note.

Shortcut: in the list, swipe a row right to approve it, or left to request changes.

The other tabs show **Waiting** (posts that still need someone else) and **Done** (posts you approved or sent back).

## What can go wrong

- **"You can't approve your own post."** The author's approval never counts. Another approver has to approve it.
- **"The post changed, review v3".** Someone edited the post while you were looking. Review the new version, then approve it.
- **"Approved after its time. It is held until someone publishes it."** The approval came after the scheduled time, so Kredia didn't publish late. Publish it or reschedule it. See [An approved post didn't publish](https://kredia.io/help/en/troubleshooting-and-platform-limits/approved-post-not-published).
- **You weren't notified.** Push notifications aren't available yet. Watch the **Approvals** badge and the banner on **Home**.
