How do I create my account?
Open HelloAgain, choose your language, then tap Sign up. Enter your name, email, phone number, date of birth and a password. You'll land on Home, ready to build your circle.

How do I add family and friends to my circle?

Two taps:
- On Home, tap how you feel today β Great, Fine or Lonely. That's your 5-second check-in.

Your circle sees both instantly, and HelloAgain keeps the rhythm going with gentle reminders.

On Android, a full-screen incoming-call screen takes over the lock screen with Accept and Decline. If you only see a small banner, pull it down and tap Accept.
Android 14+ note: the first time HelloAgain rings while the phone is locked, it may ask you to allow full-screen notifications. Allow it β that's what lets calls take over the screen.
Calls aren't ringing on my phone. What should I check?

Check that HelloAgain has microphone permission (Settings β Apps β HelloAgain β Permissions). Make sure you didn't mute yourself (the ποΈ button) and that the volume rocker is up.

Yes β Profile β Notifications β Quiet hours. Messages and reminders wait until the morning. Incoming calls still ring so family can always reach you in an emergency.
What are AI Care Moments?

Is HelloAgain private?
