How to Log into IBM SmartCloud IM using Sametime App for iOS

I have downloaded the Sametime App on your iPhone and want to access IBM SmartCloud Instant Messaging (IM). What are the steps?

First please note you need to have at least iOS version 5 in order to install the Sametime App. The support for IBM SmartCloud was introduced in the Sametime App released on January 14th, 2013 (version 8.5.2.8). It can be downloaded here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibm-sametime/id472303810?mt=8.

Also, please note that you need to have an IBM SmartCloud account first (https://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/social/us/en/?1). Once you have an account, or if you already have an IBM SmartCloud account, then you can log into it using the iPhone following the steps below.

Steps to access SmartCloud IM on your iPhone:

1. Once you have installed the Sametime App you will be prompted to edit community settings. Choose "Community."
