Connected to Future Participant

This is a Future Participant detail page. You can resend our invitation to your friend from this page. Due to the abundance of spam, I would recommend you reach out to them directly after sending the invitation. Most people ignore emails they do not expect.

Press the Settings button.

Friend Settings

The Friend Settings is where you control your interactions with this connection. We believe in your privacy; you control who receives your information. By default, your check-ins are not sent to new connections. You must opt-in and select Yes to send your check-ins to your friends.

To send them check-ins, press the Yes button.
To stop sending check-ins, press the No button.

By default, you receive check-ins from your friends but you can change this at any time. Also on this page, you can change your connection to Friend, Companion or Blocked. At the top of the page, you can tap on the arrow button to see the QR code of their identifier.
