Common questions
How do I pair two devices?
- Install Ooples on both iPhones.
- At first launch, choose your name and avatar.
- On one device, tap Create a link. A QR code appears.
- On the other device, tap Join and scan the QR code.
- A verification code appears on both phones. Confirm it matches.
- Pairing is complete. You can start messaging.
If both iPhones are nearby (same Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on), pairing can also happen automatically.
I can't connect to the app
Check the following:
- Your internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) is active.
- The app is up to date on the App Store.
- Try force-closing and reopening the app.
If the problem persists, contact us at support@ooples.fr with your iOS version and iPhone model.
I'm getting a new iPhone — what happens?
Your local history won't transfer automatically, as messages are stored securely on your device.
On your new iPhone:
- Install Ooples.
- Create your profile.
- Pair again with your partner's iPhone.
Your existing history cannot be recovered. Contact support@ooples.fr if you need help.
How do I delete my data?
From the app settings:
- Open Ooples and go to the Settings tab.
- Select Erase data.
- Confirm. All local data (messages, files, encryption keys) is deleted immediately.
This action is irreversible. For a server-side deletion request, contact privacy@ooples.fr.
How do I report a bug?
Email us at support@ooples.fr with:

The app is asking for permissions — is that normal?
Ooples may request access to certain iPhone features:
- Camera: to take photos or scan a QR code.
- Photo library: to share photos from your gallery.
- Microphone: to record voice messages.
- Notifications: to alert you of new messages.
- Face ID / Touch ID: to protect app access.
These permissions are used solely for app functionality. No data is shared with third parties.
