For supporters

One thing above all: if the person you hold for asks to end protection, the request reaches you and you answer it.

• The whole job is answering requests
• What answering actually means
• What you cannot do
• Before you accept

Open the link they shared in the Fold’em app and tap Hold the key.

• Where the ask comes from
• Your account, and what it costs
• Accepting, end to end
• What happens right after

One list per person, and it is the whole of it: eleven things, five of them for the person holding the key.

• The list, and it is the whole list
• Where each fact reaches you
• What never crosses at all
• Reading their row

Their row on People carries one of five words about their protection: Protection on, Not confirmed yet, Protection at risk, Protection off and Protection ended.

• One word, and the row is built from it
• The five words
• The other lines a row can carry
• What this does not do

You can say no, from anywhere, and that is the whole of what you can do alone.

• How the request reaches you
• The two answers, and their consequences
• What an approval starts
• Deciding, step by step

The request closes, and nothing opens.

• The rule, exactly
• Why silence closes rather than opens
• What your app shows while the clock runs
• If the seven days already ran out

A handover can no longer be started in Fold’em 3.0, so this only happens when someone began one in an earlier version, and it runs to its end.

• A handover has two consents and two clocks
• What you are being asked, exactly
• What the outgoing keyholder sees
• Answering a change request

Yes, in the app, at any time, and it is better than holding a key and not answering.

• Two different events with one name
• Why it takes a confirmation
• Three moments it will refuse
• Stepping away

No.

• What the role can actually reach
• What no app on that phone can reach
• What the role is actually for
• If you are worried about them

It depends on whether you had accepted. Before that, the invite is a link, a code or a QR they shared, and none of them is precious: ask them to share it again. After you accept, nothing is issued to you that could be lost. Your access is your Fold’em account, so a wiped or replaced phone costs you a sign in and nothing else.

• Before you accept: it is a link, a code or a QR
• After you accept: your access is your account
• Getting back in
• What this does not do

Because Fold’em did not send one.

• What an invite is, and is not
• Working through it
• What this does not do

Their row is not a copy that has to be refreshed. People keeps what the server holds for you about them up to date while your phone is online, and when it is older than six hours, or you are offline, a line under their row says Up to date as of and the time. Offline, People also says so at the top. What can lag is their phone, not your row: a status word is only as current as the last report their phone sent.

• What you are reading, and where it comes from
• The part that can lag is their phone
• The moments that matter do not wait
• If you need to know right now

Two kinds, yes.

• Two settings, and only one of them is yours
• A request never depends on a switch
• Where to look, and what to do
• How much actually reaches you

You hold no key, so no request to end protection reaches you and there is nothing for you to approve or refuse.

• The role, and where it stops
• What you see
• How things reach you
• Living with their row

Nothing opens that day.

• The wait starts when you approve, not before
• What the scan actually does
• Only they can call it off
• What your app shows while the wait runs
