How to Send a New Message​

Start a conversation with another Liberdus user by searching their username or using their QR code.

Steps: Sending a New Message​

  1. Sign in and go to the Chats screen.
  2. Tap the purple + button in the bottom-right corner.
  3. In the Recipient field, choose one of the following methods:
  • Search by Username:
    • Begin typing the recipient’s Liberdus username.
    • When the username is found, tap Continue.
  • Upload QR Code:
    • Tap the image/QR upload icon.
    • Select the saved QR image from your device.
    • Liberdus will automatically detect the user.
    • Tap Continue.
  • Scan QR Code:
    • Tap the QR scan icon.
    • If prompted, allow camera permissions.
    • Scan the user’s QR code and tap Continue.
  1. You will now be taken into a new chat window with that user.
  2. Type your message in the text box.
  3. Tap the send button (purple arrow icon).
  4. Wait a few seconds - the message will be delivered once processed by the network.

Important​

  • If the recipient has a toll enabled, you may be required to pay before your first message can be delivered.
  • If the username is typed incorrectly, Liberdus will not find a recipient.
  • Once the first message is sent, the chat will remain in your Chats list for future conversations.

How to Scan a QR Code to Start a Chat​

Quickly add someone or start a new chat by scanning their Liberdus QR code.

Steps: Scanning a QR Code​

  1. Tap the purple + button on the Chats screen to start a new message.
  2. Tap the QR scan icon on the “New Chat” screen.
  3. If prompted, allow camera permissions so Liberdus can access your camera.
  4. Point your camera at the recipient’s QR code and hold steady.
  5. Once scanned, the username will appear automatically.
  6. Tap Continue to open the chat.
  7. Type your message and press Send.

Important​

  • You can scan from a printed QR, another device, or a screen.
  • If the scan doesn’t detect:
    • Adjust your distance slightly.
    • Ensure the QR is fully visible and well-lit.
  • Scanning a QR only identifies the user; it does not automatically add them to Contacts until you assign a status.
