No internet connection is required once both devices are paired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I use Tihi with more than two devices?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Currently, Tihi supports one-to-one communication (one sender, one receiver). Multi-device support may come in future updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Does Tihi work on iPad?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Yes! Tihi works on any iOS device running iOS 16.0 or later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I switch between sender and receiver roles?<\/strong>\u00a0A: Yes. Go to Settings and tap &#8220;Send Signals&#8221; or &#8220;Receive Signals&#8221; to change your role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Is my data private?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Yes. All communication happens directly between your devices. No data is sent to servers or stored in the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: How far apart can the devices be?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Devices should be within 30 feet (10 meters) for reliable connection. Walls and obstacles can reduce this range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Does Tihi work when the app is closed?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: No. The app must be running (can be in background) on both devices for signals to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Will signals work if my phone is locked?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Yes! Signals will arrive as notifications even when the receiver&#8217;s phone is locked. However, the app must still be running in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: How long does the connection last?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: The connection stays active as long as both devices are within range and both apps are running. A keep-alive mechanism maintains the connection automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Does Tihi drain my battery?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Tihi uses Bluetooth Low Energy and is optimized for battery efficiency. Battery impact is minimal during normal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signal Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: How many signals can I send?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: There&#8217;s no limit. You can send as many signals as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I customize the signal buttons?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Currently, the 9 pre-set signals are fixed, but you can use &#8220;Custom Signal&#8221; to send any message you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I see when a signal was sent?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Yes. The receiver can see timestamps for all signals in the history list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What happens if I send a signal while disconnected?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: The signal won&#8217;t be sent. You&#8217;ll need to reconnect first. Signal buttons are disabled when not connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Privacy &amp; Security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Is the connection encrypted?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: Yes. All communication uses encrypted Bluetooth connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Do you collect any data?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: No. We don&#8217;t collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything stays on your devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can other people see my signals?<\/strong>&nbsp;A: No. Signals are only sent to your paired device.
