Talsam uses Bluetooth® technology to connect to your smartphone. Every charm contains six LED lights on its face that deliver a glowing notification when you receive a message sent using the Talsam mobile app.

Talsam charms also contain a motor for delivering vibration alerts, a button for sending SOS alerts and unlocking private messages, and a USB-C® connector for charging the charm.

• You can send a text message by entering text in the space provided at the bottom of your Message Feed.
• You can send other messages by tapping on the diamond shaped icon at the bottom right of your Message Feed and choosing from one of the options.
• Following the instructions on the screen to send any of the available message options.

You can mark any of the following messages as secret: photos, videos, voice notes, and stylized quotes. To do so, set the Secret Message toggle at the top of the screen to the ON position before you send the message. It will now require the recipient to use two-factor authentication to unlock it.

 

1. Go to your Settings by tapping on the icon at the top left of your screen.
2. Tap on the SOS Alerts link in your charm control panel.
3. Add an Emergency Contact by completing the form displayed.

To send an SOS alert* with Talsam, simply press and hold the button on the charm for 5 seconds.

The charm will vibrate to let you know that the alert was sent. The emergency contact(s) specified in your account will receive a text message and email containing your location, along with an automated phone call.

The Moment Stream is an alternative view of your message feed in the Talsam app. You can tag incoming messages according to how they make you feel, choosing from one of five positive emotions: Amused, Happy, Loved, Optimistic, and Thankful.

Tagged messages are automatically added to your Moment Stream, with the associated emotion represented by a unique color and emoji. You can then browse old messages based on how they made you feel.

It’s a fun way to relive positive moments from the past without having to scroll endlessly through your phone.

Animated emojis are our take on the traditional emoji. We’ve applied our own style to the design of every emoji, elevating it to make it look more elegant and sophisticated than standard emojis. We also threw in the element of surprise by having the emoji animate from a collection of stars.

To create a Connection between two people, who each have their own charm, each person would need to pair their charm to their own device. 

The order we recommend you follow is:

(1) Person #1 pairs their charm to their phone and creates their account

(2) Person #2 scans the code on the packaging of Person #1's charm and creates their account

(3) Person #2 goes to their Settings and taps "Add Charm" in the Connection that has been created

(4) Person #2 pairs their charm with their phone

(5) Both charms are now connected to the same message feed and each person's charm is paired with their own device
