How QuietTrust works

One tap tells your circle you need help. That is all it does. For messages, use WhatsApp. For alerts, use QuietTrust.

Start

1. Open QuietTrust and enter your name and number.
2. Tap Start a circle, or Join a circle if someone invited you.
3. Go to Settings → Alert check and switch on what it suggests.

Invite someone

1. Go to Your circle and tap Invite someone.
2. They open QuietTrust, tap Join a circle, and scan your QR code from there or type the 16-character code. An invite works once, for 15 minutes.
3. If there are already two or more of you, someone other than the person who invited them lets them in.

Ask for help

1. Press I need help. The button turns light red for 5 seconds.
2. Pick a message, press again to send at once, or press Stop. If you do nothing, I need help goes.
3. You then have 5 seconds to Undo.
4. Press I'm OK now when you are fine.

When someone asks

The card at the top of the Alert screen turns from green to red. Open it, then tap I can help or Call, or Write an answer. Your whole circle sees the answers.

Your choices

• Who gets my alerts: use the Gets my alerts switch on each person's card. Everyone in the circle can see your choice.
• My one-tap messages: edit and reorder them in Settings.
• Trusted numbers: anyone in the circle can add one, and everyone sees it. A number goes if the person who added it leaves.
• Removing someone is a vote. It passes with more than half of the others.
• Everyone in the circle can see your name and phone number.

Good to know

• Test it with your circle. Phones differ, and battery savers can delay alerts.
• On an iPhone, the silent switch can keep an alert quiet.
• In danger? Call 999 / 112 first. QuietTrust passes your message to your circle. It doesn't promise that anyone will answer and it isn't an emergency service.
