FAQ
Product-related questions (General)
How does HEY work?
HEY uses a clever layout of sensors to detect when you touch your bracelet. This touch is sent via Bluetooth to your smartphone and the HEY app, which then sends the touch to the other connected phone and HEY Bracelet via the Internet. HEY uses a small but powerful motor to pull part of the wristband into the casing, producing a gentle squeeze.
What are the dimensions of HEY?
Length HEY body = 5,5cm, height HEY body = 1,4cm (at highest point), total length incl. wristband = 23,5cm
Does the bracelet make any sound when touches are being sent or received?
Even though we have tried to make the sound as quiet as possible, the bracelet makes a sound when you receive a touch. This is due to the motor that subtracts the bracelet; to mimic the unique sensation of a squeeze.
The touchpad on the bracelet is very sensitive.
We realize that the bracelet is indeed very sensitive. We're looking into the possibility of adjusting the sensitivity with the next firmware update. Make sure to update your app when your app store notifies you about these updates.
My significant other has a very small or large wrist. Will HEY fit him or her?
We have considered most common wrist sizes when deciding on the size of the wristband. HEY will fit wrist sizes varying from 12,5 up to 20,5cm. With a space between the pin holes of approx. 0,2cm.
What is HEY made out of?
ABS plastic and Silicon.
Is it possible to link multiple HEYs in order to send more than one person a touch?
Nope, this is not possible, HEY is a one to one bracelet. A set connects two people, giving them an intimate and private connection through touch.
Is there a distance limit on HEY?
The bracelet is supported by an internet connection, therefore there’s no distance limit between two bracelets. As long as your smartphone is connected to the internet and the bracelet (by Bluetooth).
As for the distance between smartphone and bracelet: that depends on the Bluetooth connection. On average HEY’s Bluetooth range will be about 5 meters. Please be aware that objects within the range between your phone and bracelet, or other Bluetooth connection may have an impact on the signal.
How long will the battery last?
Your HEY bracelet battery should last anywhere between 1-3 days, depending on the number of touches you send and receive.
What does the squeeze feel like?
Like someone gently squeezing your wrist with their thumb and index finger.
Which Operating systems are supported?
The HEY app works on android 9 and up, plus iOS 12 and up.
Is HEY compatible with Windows phones?
No, HEY only works with Android an iOS.

Tips that might help:
Other tips that might help:
- Make sure the battery is fully charged, charging is preferable with a wall charger.
- Turn the Bluetooth on/off. Especially if you're tried pairing a different bracelet before on your smartphone. After unpairing the first bracelet, BT sometimes has trouble finding the second bracelet. In this case turning off and on might help.
- Does your phone have the latest iOS or Android version? (this is very important). Please check if new software is available manually rather than waiting for the phone to prompt you.
- Try switching on location sharing for your HEY app in your phone's settings menu. If this is occurring on Android, check the following link on how to change this: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3467281?hl=en
My bracelet does not send touches. What can I do?
My bracelet pairs with my phone but I don’t receive touches and I cannot send myself a test touch through the app.
1. Charge your bracelet for an extended period of time. At least one hour.
2. Switch your phone’s Bluetooth off and on again.
3. Disconnect your bracelet from the charger, touch the top of the bracelet for at least 1 second.
4. Pair your bracelet using the HEY app and use the in-app ‘Send touch to yourself’ button to test your bracelet.
5. Try switching on location sharing for the HEY app in your phone's settings menu.
