Confirming who is who

Family messages are part of Hamdam Plus.

The owner of the family confirms who is who before anyone seals a message to a slot. On the owner's device, Messages shows a line such as the person says they are a family member, with Confirm and Not them.

Everyone else sees the person waiting for the owner to confirm. Hamdam will not seal a message to an unconfirmed slot.

Step by step

  1. As the owner, open Roots, then Messages.

  2. When someone says who they are, tap Confirm or Not them.

Worth knowing

  • Families that were already messaging keep going.
