Is there really no way to skip it?
Really. No snooze, no emergency unlock, no secret code. Phone calls and the apps you didn't choose always work. That's the whole point.
Do my friends need the app?
Yes. They install Pinky (free, no promise needed on their side), tap your invite link, type their name. From then on your requests reach them as notifications and they answer with one tap.
How do I invite someone?
Settings → Your way back in → Add a person. Type their name and send the link (WhatsApp, Messages, anything). They install Pinky, open the link and accept. Until they do, they show as "Hasn't accepted yet" and you can resend or remove the invite. Up to ten people; every one who accepted has to say yes when you ask.
What are the places?
Spots near home you save by standing there (Settings → Your way back in → Add a place): the corner shop, the park bench, the mailbox. To unlock, Pinky sends you to all of them and checks you arrived, within 30 metres. Your location never leaves the phone. You can use places, people, or both.
Someone said no. Who was it?
We don't know either. Pinky only keeps the result. "Not this time" can also mean someone didn't answer within 30 minutes.
Why does the beta say locking is simulated?
App Store builds need Apple's approval to use Screen Time. Until it arrives, beta builds simulate locking so you can try everything else.
How do I delete my data?
Settings → Delete my data in the app. It removes everything we hold on our server right away.
Still stuck?
Email hello@askpinky.app with your iPhone model, iOS version and the Pinky version from the bottom of Settings. We answer within two days.
