FAQ & app guides

Open People and choose Add person. Enter the full eight-character glancy ID or scan the other person’s QR code. Once the request is accepted, you are connected. Sharing your location is a separate decision.

Open the person under People, scroll to Remove connection and confirm. Remove and block also prevents new requests from that person. Afterwards, neither of you can access the other’s location through the connection.

Open Settings and tap your avatar. Pick a suggestion or scroll to Customize to change the face, hair, clothing and colours. Tap Apply to save your new avatar.

On Home, tap a free Add favorite slot and select an accepted connection. The person appears in that slot. There are three favourite slots for free and eight with glancy+.

Press and hold the person’s tile on Home, then confirm Remove from favorites. The slot becomes available again. Your connection and existing location permissions remain in place.

A group is your personal collection of connected people. You manage a shared location access rule for them. The group rule takes priority while someone belongs to it; their personal rule is kept for later.

Open Groups under People and tap New group. Enter a name and an optional description. After creating it, add accepted connections and manage the shared access rule.

Open the group, choose Delete group and read the access warning before confirming. Connections remain in place. Stored personal sharing rules may apply again afterwards and grant access.

Open the group and choose Add under Members. Remove someone using the removal action beside their name. Read the access preview: adding can grant group access, and removing can restore a personal rule.

Open the person and their sharing rule. Choose Exact location or Approximate location and save. If a group manages their access, edit the group rule instead; that change applies to all members.

On Home, open your own location card, choose a duration and confirm with Pause for a bit. The global pause applies to all people and groups. Use Become visible again to end it. Your connections and sharing rules remain in place.
