How can we help?

Test

No. bluumie is for any two people who already know each other — partners, best friends, friends or siblings. You choose who it's for when you create your account, and it works the same way for everyone.

Yes. The free plan lets you connect with one person and use Bloom, Together, Memories, Look Back and bluumie free. bluumie+ adds Chat and up to 5 connections — the bluumie+ screen always shows the current price.

Yes — bluumie is for two people, so you each need your own account. One of you sends an invite (code, QR code or link) and the other joins with it. Here's how: How do I connect with my person?

bluumie runs on iPhone and Android phones. Use the same account on either, and check How do I update bluumie? to stay on the latest version.

No. Your invite code is kept until someone joins with it or it expires, so closing or restarting bluumie won't lose it.

Just open Connect with someone → Invite someone again and the same code, QR code and link are shown. Opening it again never creates a second code or counts against your connection limit.

Invite codes are valid for 7 days. After that, opening the invite screen gives you a fresh one.

Yes, with bluumie+ you can be connected with up to 5 people, each with their own Bloom, chat and memories. On the free plan you have one connection.

Your shared Bloom, sessions and memories are removed for both of you, and it can't be undone. Your person is notified. Read How do I disconnect from someone? before you decide.

By default, your Bloom reaches each stage after this much confirmed time together:

• Planted — when you connect
• Sprouting — 5 hours
• Growing — 20 hours
• Budding — 50 hours
• Blooming — 100 hours
• Full Bloom — 250 hours

Time is added from every session you spend together, whether bluumie detected it or you logged it yourself. Special events can add bonus time.

These thresholds can be tuned over time as we improve bluumie, so they may change slightly.

It's one shared Bloom — you both see the same stage and progress. Every connection has its own Bloom. See What is a Bloom?

On iPhone, bluumie can show a live timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while a Bloom together timer is running.

Turn it on or off in You → Live Activity → Show live ticker.

No. Together detection only runs while bluumie is open. You can switch it off any time in You → Privacy and log time manually instead.

No. bluumie never shares your location or your location history. Your person only learns whether you were together.

No. Automatic detection only happens while bluumie is open, so open it when you're together if you'd like it to notice. Otherwise, log the time yourself later — it counts the same once your person confirms.

Not at all. Tap Log time together on the Together tab, add the start and end time, and your person confirms it. It then counts towards your Bloom.

Only you and your person. Memories are shared inside your pair — they're never public.

Yes. Tap a memory in the Memories tab to change its title, note or photo — or to delete it. Deleting removes it for both of you. See How do I save a memory?

Open Your recaps on Home for a month or year in review. See What are recaps?

No. bluumie free only shares when you're busy or free — never event titles, locations or who you're with.

In Chat you can see when your person was last active — "Active just now" or "Active 5 min ago" — but only if they choose to share it.

• It's off by default.
• Turn it on in You → Privacy → Share last seen.
• Sharing works both ways separately: if you keep it off, your person doesn't see your last active time, and you can still choose whether to see theirs by them turning it on.

You can switch it off again at any time.

bluumie's free plan includes one connection. If you try to invite or join a second person, you'll see that you've reached your limit.

• Upgrade to bluumie+ to connect with up to 5 people.
• An invite nobody has joined yet doesn't count towards your limit — only real, completed connections do.
• If you want to swap your connection for someone else on the free plan, you'd first need to disconnect.

Open You → bluumie+ to upgrade.

Yes. bluumie+ belongs to your account, not your phone — just log in on the new device.

Free members can browse the most recent three months. Your older sessions are still there and still count towards your Bloom — Extended History with bluumie+ lets you browse all of them.

Yes. Open You → bluumie+, scroll to the bottom and tap Cancel bluumie+. You go back to the free plan right away and get a confirmation email. Nothing is deleted — your connections, sessions and memories stay, but new connections, older history and chat are locked until you upgrade again. See How do I cancel bluumie+?

Chat is only between you and your person, and messages are stored encrypted on our servers. See How does bluumie protect my privacy?

Go to You → Account → Sign out of all devices. Every phone or tablet signed in to your account is signed out — useful if you've lost a device or think someone else has access.

To sign out of just this device, tap Sign out.

Go to You → Account → Delete account and confirm.

This permanently deletes your account and signs you out everywhere. It can't be undone.

If you're connected with someone, think about disconnecting first so you both know what happens to your shared Bloom and memories. Read How do I delete my data? for the full picture.

In the You tab:

• Language — choose Device, English or Deutsch.
• Appearance — choose System, Light or Dark.

Changes apply immediately.

When a new version is available, bluumie shows a banner at the top of the app: "A new version of bluumie is available." Tap Update and follow the prompt.

Not seeing it? Make sure you're online, then close and reopen the app. You can check which version you have at the bottom of the You tab (Version x.y.z, build).

Yes — log in with the same account on each. If you ever lose a device, use You → Account → Sign out of all devices.

English and Deutsch. Choose one — or follow your phone — under You → Language.

Tap Resend email in the banner at the top of the app, or on the You tab. You can request a new one once a minute — and it's worth checking your spam folder. Already verified? The banner disappears on its own.

If the app won't load or keeps showing errors, check our status page. It shows whether the app and website are online, with a 30-day uptime history and any known incidents.

If everything shows as online but you still have trouble, try:

• Checking your internet connection
• Closing and reopening bluumie
• Updating the app

Then contact us if it continues.
