ACCEPT LOCATION SERVICES

In order for all.u.me to work we need you to set your location to "always". If we don't know where you are we don’t know if you are nearby a caller or if there are any backups near you in case you need backup. 

It's a two step process with a few variations depending on language and phone model.

01 Allow the app to access your phones location services
02 Start by accepting "When in use.."
03 Then change this to "Always" on the following screen or in settings.

We’ll let you know if it not setup correctly on the home screen.

ACCEPT NOTIFICATIONS

We need you to allow us to send notifications, so we can let you know if you are needed as a backup - or if we need to share news with you.

01 Allow the app to send you notifications
02 Allow us to make sure you notice

We’ll let you know if it not setup correctly on the home screen.

ADD A PROFILE PHOTO

You should upload a picture of yourself, so that even a stranger would recognise you.

01 Allow the app to access your image library or camera
02 Select a photo and size it to fit the circle

You can always change it in you profile settings.

BECOME A BACKUP

01 Watch the 3 minute training video
02 When the video is almost complete you'll see I'M READY
03  Press it and take the short quiz
04 If you like you can choose to see the training video again

You are now a certified all.u.me backup.

SHARE APP

One of the most important things you can do is to share the app with friends, classmates, colleagues and family.

01 Press your profile picture to open the menu and press SHARE APP
02 Select your preferred channel and contacts
03 Used the auto-text or write yourself

ASSES A CALL

If a user starts a call for backup nearby, you will receive a notification with the callers name and the distance to the caller.

01 Press the notification
02 Asses the callers location
03 Choose to ACCEPT or DECLINE the call

GETTING TO YOUR CALLER

If you accept the call the app tells you how to reach your callers location by regular GPS based routing by Google Maps.

If you are not in an urban area, perhaps switching to "straight line" mode on the map is better.

01 Follow the guidelines
02 If other backups also accepts the call you can see who and where they are
03 When within close range - approximately 10 meters - of your callers location the app exits the routing mode

FINDING YOUR CALLER

Now this can be tricky especially in crowded locations. Use the advice in the app to find the caller.

01 Call out the callers name
02 Enlarge the profile photo and ask if anybody has seen them
03 Wait for other backups to arrive and spreed out
04 If you're not able to find the caller, press NO on the screen
05 If you have found the caller start backup or press YES to be reminded of the 5Ds

BACKUP YOUR CALLER

Depending on the situation choose to Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay or to be Direct - or a combination of these that feels right to you.

Focus on backing up the caller by helping them exit. It’s important to consider your own safety and keep your intervention short - of course don’t put yourself at risk.

FILE A REPORT

After talking part in a call, you're able to file an anonymous report up to 14 days after a call.

01 Press your profile picture to open the menu and press REPORT
02 Select the relevant person and press NEXT
03 Select the reason why and press NEXT
04 Add a optional comment and SUBMIT
