Common questions
What is Blimp?
A tiny status, up to 30 characters with a colored dot, that your people see on their Home Screen. No feed, no likes, just what everyone's up to.
Who can see my Blimp?
Only people you're connected with. Nobody can search for you; they need your code, or to be in a group with you.
How do codes and invite links work?
Sharing your code is consent: whoever enters it connects with you right away. An invite link (blimp.party/join/…) is the same code; tapping it opens Blimp with the code filled in. Add a PIN if you only want people you tell. Changing your code stops the old one working, and nobody else can ever use it.
Why didn't my widget update right away?
iOS and Android decide how often widgets refresh to save battery. Your own changes show instantly; friends' updates can take a few minutes. Opening Blimp refreshes everything.
What's the difference between remove, block and mute?
Remove disconnects you, but you can reconnect by swapping codes. Block also stops them using your code, so only you can undo it. Mute keeps you connected and they still see your Blimp; theirs moves to Muted at the bottom of your people and off your widget. Nobody is told in any case.
How do I report someone?
Touch and hold their Blimp and choose Report…. Pick a reason and add a note if you like. We review reports within 24 hours and remove content or accounts that break our Terms. You can also block them straight away.
