How to ride an alarm
- Open the alarm's link,
lfg.gm/a/<alarm-code>, from a chat, a bio or Discover. - Tap Wake me too. A friends alarm either lets anyone with the link in, or asks the person who made it to approve you; if they added you themselves, you are in straight away.
- When it goes off, it rings on your phone with everyone else's. Tap I'm up and you are on the wake board.
If someone added you to their alarm, it arrives in your notifications; tap it to ride along.
An example
Leo posts a link in the five-a-side group chat: a friends alarm for Thursday at 6:45pm, "Boots on, pitch 3". You tap the link, tap Wake me too, and it shows up in your Alarms list under Coming up. On Thursday your phone rings at 6:45pm with Leo's choice of song, at the same second as everyone else's.
What you can change
An alarm you ride belongs to whoever made it, so you cannot edit its time, trigger, title, sound or picture: that would change it for everyone. What you can do:
- Snooze: set your own snooze length and count on the alarm's page. It applies to your phone only.
- Turn it off for yourself, or remove it with Stop waking me.
- Comment and heart on a friends or public alarm, under Reactions.
When the creator takes it down
If the person who made an alarm deletes it, it stays in your list marked Creator took this down, and you are asked whether to Keep my copy or Let it go. A kept copy is your own private alarm, with its trigger, so you are not left without the alarm you relied on. It is yours to change, but it stays private for good, because it is someone else's title and work. A percent price move on a kept copy is measured from the price when you keep it.
Anything alarms (webhooks) are the exception: a kept copy would never ring, because the link that sets them off belongs to the creator, so they are removed instead and you are told.
