Pulsgram

How friends find you

Contacts, QR code, invite link or username. How contact matching works without your address book leaving your phone.

Updated:

Four ways

  • From contacts: people already on Pulsgram show "Add", the others show "Invite", with the message ready.
  • QR code: everyone has a personal code with a heart in the middle. Friends scan it from the app or pick a screenshot from their gallery.
  • Invite link: send it through any app. Once they join, you are friends automatically.
  • Username: search by @name.

Your address book stays on your phone

Numbers and addresses in your contacts become cryptographic fingerprints on your phone, compared only with people already on Pulsgram. Your address book is never uploaded to us.

Only people who have your email address saved, or your phone number if you added it to your profile, can find you from their contacts.

You do not want to be found from contacts

Turn off contact discovery in your privacy settings or remove the phone number from your profile. Friends can still use your QR code or link.

People you blocked can no longer find you in search or in contacts. See Blocking and reporting.
