You may be wondering what it means to become someone’s Dearest on our application. In simple terms, it means you agree to let another person view your app data so that they can help take care of you. The person who you agree to view your real-time location, Location Report, and App Usage Report is known as your Caregiver. Please make sure that you understand what information you are agreeing to share with that person before you add them as a Caregiver.
What Happens When You Become Someone’s Dearest
When you become someone’s Dearest, you will be added into a Group Chat that your Caregiver has chosen so that you can easily communicate. That group may contain other group members but only your Caregiver will be able to access the following information:
- Your Real-Time Location: They will be able to view your real-time location all of the time on their “Map” screen and you cannot switch this off.
- Your Location Report: This means they will receive a report of your travel history every 14 days
- Your App Usage Report: They will receive a report showing what applications you use and for how long.
- Optional Screen Sharing: You must grant permission on your app every time they wish to use this feature to view your phone screen. This feature will not work if you do not grant permission on the app.
As their Dearest, you will be able to view their real-time location when they have that feature turned on. If you wish to remove the Caring Relationship and stop being their Dearest, you must directly ask your Caregiver to delete the relationship on their application.

About Invitation Codes
It is important that you know that the invitation codes for joining a group and becoming someone’s Dearest look the same but unlock different features. Please talk with the person who sent you the invitation code before entering it into the application to make sure that it is specifically for becoming their Dearest. If the invitation code is for joining a group and you enter it into the “Join Group and Become Someone’s Dearest” page, you will only be added to the group and not become their Dearest.
