What your partner sees

Nothing. The lock is for this phone only. Your partner's phone has its own lock setting, and they are not told what you choose.

Questions about the app lock

Is the lock on by default?

No. The row says: "Off by default. When on, Saath locks whenever the app leaves the screen."

Why do I not see the lock row?

It only shows in the iPhone or Android app. In a browser there is nothing to lock. If your phone cannot offer it you will see "Face ID is not available on this phone." on iPhone, or "The lock is not available on this phone." on Android.

What if it does not turn on?

Saath says "Face ID did not confirm. The lock setting was not changed." or "The lock did not confirm. The lock setting was not changed." Nothing changed, so try again. If it says "Could not check Face ID on this phone." or "Could not check the lock on this phone.", close the app and open it again.

When does Saath lock?

Whenever the app leaves the screen. Alerts are their own setting, in the Alerts guide.

What if I have no signal?

The lock is checked on your phone, so it works without a connection.

Can I use the lock in the Saath couples app on a browser?

No. The lock is only in the iPhone and Android apps.
