WhatsApp and iMessage
Your coach can check in, nudge you and answer questions in WhatsApp or iMessage, so you don’t need to open the app. iMessage is available on iPhone only.
Connect
Open the setting
Open Settings and tap WhatsApp or iMessage.
Agree to messages
Tick the box to agree to receive coaching messages from flourish (check-ins, reminders and tips). You can turn these off at any time by disconnecting.
Send the confirmation message
Tap Connect WhatsApp (or Connect iMessage). WhatsApp or Messages opens with a short confirmation message ready to go. Send it.
Come back to flourish
Return to the app. Your number is linked automatically and the screen shows Connected. If it doesn’t update, tap I’ve sent it, check now.
To have your coach’s proactive messages arrive there, set Where your coach reaches you in Notifications.
Sensitive details stay in the app. Your coach keeps personal health information out of WhatsApp and iMessage and points you back to flourish when it’s needed.
Disconnect
Open Settings, tap WhatsApp or iMessage, then Disconnect. Your coach stops messaging you there.
Troubleshooting
- “WhatsApp not found”: install WhatsApp, then try again.
- “Could not open Messages”: open the Messages app once, then try again.
- Still not connected after sending the message: tap Reopen WhatsApp (or Reopen Messages) and check the message actually sent, then tap I’ve sent it, check now.
