Does My Status share my location?
No. My Status never asks for or stores your location. People see your colour, your message, how long you’ve had that status and, if you leave it switched on, your local time and time zone (for example “Tokyo”). You can hide your local time in Settings.
How does My Status know what time it is for them?
Each person’s device tells My Status which time zone it’s set to, and My Status keeps it up to date every time they open the app, so it follows them as they travel. If they’re in the same time zone as you, My Status doesn’t show it, as there’s nothing to work out.
Who can see my light?
Only people who have both your code and your share password. You can see everyone who has added you in Settings and remove anyone instantly.
What if my code gets shared around?
Change your share password, and tick “also remove everyone” if you want a clean slate. You can also generate a brand new code at any time.
Do I need to install an app?
No. My Status runs in any modern browser on your phone, tablet or computer. On your phone, use “Add to Home Screen” and it behaves just like an app.
What happens if I forget to switch off?
If you don’t update your light for 12 hours, My Status switches you to red automatically so nobody thinks you’re around when you’re not.
Does adding someone let them see me too?
No — it’s one-way. Adding someone lets you see their light. For them to see yours, share your own code and password with them.
