# What About TextPort, Share App, and Watch Guide do

## Quick answer

In TextPort, tap the gear in **Saved Chats**. Then:

- **About TextPort** shows your version, links, and user ID.

## Problems

| What you see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| There is no **Watch Guide on YouTube**. | This is normal. It shows only on iPhones without **Import from Messages**. See the [guides](https://textport.com/guides) instead. |
| You want to see the first pages again. | Tap **Show First-time Onboarding** in **About TextPort**. |
| TextPort asks you to unlock something you already unlocked. | Tap **Restore Purchases** in **About TextPort**. If that does not help, [contact support](https://textport.com/guides/contact-support-or-report-a-problem.md). |
| None of these match. | Email [support@textportapp.com](mailto:support@textportapp.com). Say which step you were on. Say what you saw. We usually reply within a day. |

## Questions

### Is my user ID private?

It only tells support which account is yours. Share it only with TextPort support.

### Does Share App share my chats?

No. It sends only the App Store link.
