Understanding Chat View Options  

Arattai Web offers two distinct ways to manage your active conversations:

• Single Chat: When you click on a contact or group, that conversation fills the main viewing area. Opening a new chat replaces the current one.
• Multi-chat: The default option. An advanced layout that allows you to view two chat windows side-by-side. New chat opens on the left column and the older chat moves to the right, and will disappear when more new chats are opened.
