Frequently Asked Questions
What is Jawbone THOUGHTS ?
Jawbone THOUGHTS is a messaging platform that lets you quickly send audio notes to individuals and groups.
Who can receive my Thoughts?
Just about anyone. You can send messages to contacts that have the app, or can even send audio links to people who don't have it.
After you download the app, you'll be able to choose from all the Contacts in your phone's address book.
Is the app free?
You bet it is. You can download it for free from the iTunes App Store.
Can I send more than 1 person a Thought?
Absolutely, this is one of the best parts about the app. You invite multiple recipients to join a Conversation thread, and anyone who has the app can reply. Also, you can create Groups of people whom you may want to message frequently.
How will my friends be able to reach me through the app?
You should first register your email address and phone # with THOUGHTS. Then your friends who have your phone or email in their address books will be able to send you a THOUGHT directly through the app.
The more email addresses and phone numbers you add, the more likely your friends will be able to find you.
Rest assured, we will keep your contact information private and secure.
Do I need a Jawbone to use THOUGHTS?
You can use the app without a Jawbone. However, we believe the audio and handsfree experience is even better when you use THOUGHTS with a Jawbone.
Are there any advantages to using THOUGHTS with a Jawbone?
Yes. In addition to the great handsfree experience, you can also use the THOUGHTS DialApp. The DialApp lets you record and save drafts by holding down your Jawbone's TALK button.
Additionally, if you have registered a Jawbone ICON or Jambox with MyTALK, you will get longer recording time and more free transcription credits.
There are some people with whom I would never want to share my Thoughts. Is there anything I need to do?
Don't worry, you only send Thoughts to recipients you specify. So you'll always have control over who hears your Thoughts.
