PeepLink iOS User Manual

1. Welcome to PeepLink

PeepLink is an adults-only app for discovering and following people, professionals, and venues in the real world. One account is your public identity; professional details add category, business, venue, and check-in information to that identity.

2. Create an account

1. Open PeepLink and review the Terms & Safety screen.
2. Confirm that you are 18 or older and accept the agreement.
3. Select Create Account.
4. Enter a public display name, private sign-in email, and password.
5. Add an invite link only when you received one from someone you trust.
6. Complete email confirmation if requested, then finish the first-run profile steps.

Your private sign-in email is not automatically shown as your public name or contact email.

3. Sign in with email, Google, or Apple

On the Welcome screen, select Sign In and use your email and password. You can also choose Continue with Google orContinue with Apple when that provider is available and configured.

If prompted after provider sign-in, confirm the public display name you want other members to see.

4. Main navigation

• Search: find people, professionals, categories, and venues.
• Map: browse followed connections, Live Pros, and venues.
• Invite: open identity-link, QR, and invite tools.
• Following: review followed people and venues.

Select a person from Search, Following, or Followers to open their account-level profile. Professional category, company, public contact information, venues, and check-in details appear on that same identity when available and intentionally public.

8. Invites and connections

A permanent identity link points to your existing account. A general Join Invite helps another person join and connect. A professional invite can reserve proposed professional metadata for the recipient to claim. Do not publish full invite links or codes.

1. Open Map.
2. Choose Following, Live Pros, Venues, or Search.

13. Notifications

Professional accounts can also access professional details, Venue & Check-In, and tip settings. Log out from the Session area when finished.

• PeepLink is for adults 18 and older.
• Use in-app Report or Block controls when available for safety concerns.
• Keep passwords, authentication IDs, tokens, and complete invite links private.
• Review the current Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
• Account deletion is permanent; follow the in-app warning carefully.

16. Help and Support

Email: support@peeplinkapp.com

If you experience a problem:

1. Take a screenshot showing the issue.
2. Open Help & Support.
3. Email PeepLink Support.
4. Attach the screenshot.
5. Include what you were doing immediately before the problem occurred.

Remove passwords, tokens, full invitation links, private contact information, and authentication identifiers before sending.

17. Troubleshooting

A screen looks stale

Pull to refresh where available, return to the tab root, or close and reopen the app.

Sign-in provider is unavailable

Try email sign-in, confirm connectivity, and contact support if the provider option remains unavailable.

A check-in is missing

Confirm the professional has an active visible check-in and that the viewer follows the professional where required.

No push banner appears

Check iOS notification permission. Also inspect the in-app Notification Center because push and in-app delivery are separate.
