Add a person
Generate an invite, or paste one you received. They join Contacts when pairing finishes.
Invite them to a Group
A Group Admin can add them under Share after they are in Contacts. Adding them here does not do that.
Add a contact
1
Open Contacts
Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then Settings, then Contacts.
2
Generate an invite
Click Add contact, then Generate invite. Share the QR code, click Copy invite link, or click the email icon to send it. Each invite works for multiple people for 30 minutes. While it is live, Requests shows Your invite is live with a countdown. Click Stop inviting to cancel an unused invite, or Show invite to share it again.
3
They pair with you
The other person opens Contacts, clicks Add contact, pastes the link under Paste an invite link, and clicks Pair. Opening the invite link fills that field. They still click Pair. An invite sent straight to them shows under Requests instead.
4
They are in Contacts
They appear in your list with their name when pairing finishes. They are not in a Group until an Admin adds them from that Group under Share.
Generate invite and Pair need a network connection on the device that starts or accepts the invite. When the countdown ends, generate another invite.
Requests
Requests appears at the top of Contacts when something is waiting. An invite someone sent you reads Wants to add you as a contact. Click Accept or Decline. After you accept, the row reads Accepted, waiting for that person to finish pairing until pairing completes, then they join Contacts. Declining removes the invite. If your own invite runs out, Requests shows Your invite expired. Click New invite to make another.Pairing uses webAI’s peer-to-peer connection. It shares your IP address, which can show an approximate location, and your device’s public identity, with the person you add. Connect with people you trust.
People in Contacts
Contacts lists people you paired with. Connected Personas do not appear here. Find them on Personas. Each row shows their name and a status: Online, Away, Busy, or Offline. A row that says Re-pair needed needs a new invite. Generate one and pair again. On the desktop app, the row also shows their IDN. Click it to copy it. On the title row, open the filter and choose Everyone, Online, or Offline. Away and Busy still match Online. Click the search icon to open pop-up search and type a name.If Contacts says it could not load your contacts, they are not gone. It keeps trying. No contacts yet means you have not added anyone.
Remove a contact
1
Open their options
Open the options on their row.
2
Remove them
Click Remove, then confirm Remove. That drops the pairing, takes them off Contacts, and clears the conversation with them. Removals stay removed after a restart, and contacts added or deleted on another of your devices show up correctly everywhere. It does not remove them from a Group they already joined. You can pair again later.
