They got my text but don't have the app
The link in your text works for them too: it opens a page with the store buttons and their 6-character code.
- They tap the link in your text and get Handle from the App Store or Google Play.
- On Android, Handle usually opens on their name by itself. On iPhone, they open Handle, tap Join my crew, then Paste: the page already copied their code.
- They tap Join. There's no password: the phone is their key.
A link works once and lasts a week. Sending it again always sends one that works: if theirs expired, they get a new link and the old one stops. If it says it was used, someone already joined with it: check the names in Settings. Settings also says when they opened it: Opened.
