If you have joined us on the Zentangle Mosaic App, you have probably already noticed a number of people using hashtags to categorize the tiles they are uploading. These hashtags are a great way to put specific tiles into different mosaics and also create a way for tiles to be searched. 

We have started a list of popular hashtags we see being used in the App and the reasons behind them. Join us on the free version to check out what we are talking about or subscribe to the app to participate. 

#[anyspecifictangle] - Create hashtags with some or all of the tangles used
#alphabellish - Used when tangling letters using an #ellish technique
#winetangles, #coffeetangles, #tanglingthespill - used when people tangle around/on stains from coffee, tea, wine, etc!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is the Global Zentangle Waterfall?
A: The Global Zentangle Waterfall is a live mosaic of tiles from the world-wide Zentangle Community. Sit back and watch tiles change to find endless inspiration from all over the world. You can pause Waterfall mode anytime by touching the display. Then, you can touch any tile to find out more about it and the artist who created it. You can access the Global Zentangle Waterfall from anywhere in the app by touching the red Zentangle logo in the upper left corner of the display.

Q: What is my Home Feed?
A: Your Home Feed includes tiles uploaded by ZTHQ, "Tip's, Tangles and Techniques"  (T3) from Zentangle, and any tiles that you have appreciated and asked to see their tiles in your Home Feed. From the app settings, you can also opt to see your own tiles in your home feed. 

Q: How do I search for different content?
A:  There are countless ways you can search for different content. Want to see all the users in Malaysia? Renaissance tiles? Black or multi-colored Zendalas? You can do that all from the Search function on your menu. Hint: make sure you fill in all your tile details so your tile shows up in the search results. You can also search for a specific #. If you need some inspiration for the tangle hollibaugh, search #hollibaugh and watch a mosaic of tiles that use that tangle.
You can access the Search function from the Menu or by pressing the Search icon [icon] in the upper right of your display.
Search results will display as a Mosaic. After a moment (according to your User Settings) the search results shift automatically to Waterfall mode, playing the results of your search.

Q: How do I upload a tile?
A:  To upload a tile, touch the camera icon in the upper right hand corner of your display, or select “Upload a Tile” from the Menu. You can take a photo with your device’s camera or upload a photo from your device’s library. When taking a photo, you can turn the flash on or off by tapping [flash icon].
Once you have taken or selected your photo, align the outline of the Keystone Tool with the edge of your tile. This Keystone Tool will make the edges of your tile parallel and at right angles with each other automatically, even if you took your picture at an angle. Next, your Cropping Tool will make your image square. Finally, enter all your tile details and add a description before uploading. Full upload may take a few moments.
You can go back and edit descriptions at any time. Tiles can be set to “Private” or “Public” at any time. Tiles can also be deleted.
If your camera isn’t working within the app, go into your device settings for the Zentangle Mosaic app and make sure permissions allow the app to access your device camera.

Q: How to upload a tile that is not square?
A: The Zentangle Mosaic app requires all uploads to be square. When photographing a tile, make sure to photograph some of the background above and below (if tile is laying horizontally) or to the left and right (if laying vertically). Then, when uploading, do not crop that background out, keeping the photo square so that the tile will not be cropped. These steps can be used for any upload that is not square


Q: How to I manage/cancel my subscription?
A: Subscriptions are managed through your device settings.

On an Apple device: Launch device settings -->tap your name --> Tap Subscriptions --> Tap the subscription you would like to manage.
