Notifications and incoming friend calls
A friend ringing you should feel like a phone call, not like a marketing push. Here is how that is wired, and how to turn it down.
If someone you are friends with (or, in some cases, someone who saw you recently and is allowed to request a call) tries to reach you, the app can show an incoming-call sheet when you have it open, and a notification if you do not. Android 13 and newer also require the notification permission. If you refuse it, in-app rings can still work while the app is open; missed rings when the app is closed will not.
Busy means busy
If you are already in a video call or an anonymous chat, you are busy. The caller is told that. We do not drop a second live session on top of the first. That is how people accidentally leave a mic open in two places at once; we would rather the second ring fail clearly.
If you are in the app but idle
Waiting in the matchmaking queue is not the same as being in a call. An incoming friend ring can appear over that screen. You choose accept or decline. Declining is not a report.
Stopping the rings
Unfriend removes the direct-call privilege. You can also decline a given ring, and you can disable “accept call requests” for people who are not friends, in the Friends tab settings. System-level: mute the app’s notifications in Android if you want silence without changing friend status. We will not email you “come back and chat” campaigns from this product; rings are person-to-person.
If a notification arrives for a call you already declined, pull to refresh or open the app — a cancelled ring is supposed to clear. If it does not, write to support with the approximate time.
