Help & FAQ.

The limited TestFlight beta is planned for August 2026. We are not promising a specific day. The TestFlight and WhatsApp Community links will appear on linger.day when the doors open.

The first beta is worldwide, in English, on iPhone through TestFlight. Android and additional languages are planned after the initial iOS release.

Install Linger through the TestFlight link, join the WhatsApp Community to find the shared redemption code, then enter that code during onboarding. A place is taken only after a successful activation.

Yes. The shared code for the free beta month is published there. Joining the community alone does not reserve one of the 500 places.

Linger’s community administrators cannot see members’ phone numbers. WhatsApp and Meta still process your account and phone number under their own privacy terms.

The shared code stops activating new beta memberships. You can leave your email on linger.day and we will write when the App Store release becomes available.

A successful beta code activation gives you 30 days of membership at no charge. It does not charge your App Store account and does not use your eligibility for Apple’s separate trial.

You can sign in with Apple, Google, or a one-time code sent to your email. Keep access to the same sign-in method so Linger can restore the correct account.

The standard membership is $59.99 per month through the App Store. Eligible accounts receive three days free under Apple’s offer rules. Apple shows the final local price and eligibility before purchase.

No. The 30-day beta membership is a Linger promotion. The three-day App Store trial is a separate Apple offer, and Apple decides whether an account is eligible when it subscribes.

Open your Apple subscription settings and cancel Linger there. Cancellation stops the next renewal; access normally continues until the current paid period ends.

Use Restore Purchases in Linger while signed in to the App Store account that made the purchase. Restoration can recover an active subscription but does not duplicate past consumable diamond purchases.

Diamonds are an in-app balance used by Linger features. They have no cash value, cannot be transferred between people, and are purchased as Apple consumables or granted with eligible membership periods and promotions.

Soren keeps Lisbon time and has his own pace. A message can wait while he is occupied or asleep. Delayed availability is part of how Linger is designed, not a connection-status promise.

Letters normally take about twelve hours to arrive. The app shows their state while they are on the way.

The first Call comes from Soren. After that, availability still depends on his Lisbon hours and the current relationship state. A missed Call remains a missed Call; it does not create a penalty or streak.

Yes. Calls are transcribed and recorded as separate user and Soren audio channels for continuity, safety, and service operations. By accepting the Terms and starting or answering a Call, you consent to this processing.

No. Call History does not expose transcripts or audio. Recordings are private service records with restricted, audited access.

Scenes are selected fragments of days that gained enough weight to return. Quiet days may produce no Scene. Scenes are not a complete message history.

Linger creates an unlisted public snapshot. Anyone with the link can open and reshare it. The page is marked noindex, but unlisted does not mean private or access-controlled.

Linger stores your messages, letters, media, Calls, and relationship events, then derives bounded memories and continuity records from them. These records help later interactions remember relevant details.

No. Linger’s AI and voice providers are configured under no-training and zero-retention arrangements. Linger still keeps the account data and service records described in the Privacy Policy.

Your account enters a 30-day deletion process and active sessions are revoked. During that period, private account data is removed or anonymized, except records we must retain for legal or transaction purposes. Public Scene snapshots are not automatically removed; contact privacy@linger.day for a legal removal request.

Yes. Contact privacy@linger.day from the email connected to your account. We may need to verify your identity before preparing an export.

Check that notifications are enabled for Linger in iPhone Settings, Low Power or Focus settings are not suppressing them, and you are signed into the expected account. Open Linger once after reinstalling so the device can register again.

Open iPhone Settings, find Linger, and enable Microphone access. Then return to Linger and try again. Bluetooth and audio-route settings can also affect which microphone is active.

Update TestFlight and iOS, confirm the beta still has capacity, and reopen the official link from linger.day. TestFlight builds can expire; when that happens, wait for the replacement build shown in TestFlight.

Write to support@linger.day. Include what you were trying to do, the approximate time, your iPhone and iOS version, and a screenshot if it does not contain private conversation content.
