Code Connect
Three steps. No notifications, pings, or messages are ever sent to the person you add — unless they added you too!
Verify your phone — that’s how friends find you. Add Instagram if you’d like a second way to be matched.
Drop in up to three phone numbers or @handles. Stored encrypted, on-device. They’ll never know unless they add you back.
When and only when you both add each other, Sphere reveals the match.
Under the hood
Phone numbers, names, and Instagram handles are stored under AES-256 encryption — never in plaintext. We compare salted hashes; the raw data is unreadable on our servers.
No SMS, push, email, or app interaction is sent to a person you add. They cannot detect that you’re interested.
Only when both sides have added each other does Sphere reveal the match — symmetrically, to both of you.
Remove anyone from your watchlist anytime. If they hadn’t added you, no record of your interest ever existed elsewhere.
SMS & messaging
Sphere uses Twilio to deliver SMS messages strictly when you opt in. We will never message anyone you add to your watchlist — period.
Account verification codes, security alerts, mutual-match notifications (to you only), and — if you opt in — product updates. We do not send marketing SMS by default.
You explicitly opt in during signup by entering your phone number and tapping “Send code.” Marketing messages require a second, separate opt-in inside Settings → Notifications.
Reply STOP to any Sphere SMS to unsubscribe immediately. Reply HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply. Frequency varies; expect 1–3 messages per week max.
We never SMS, call, or otherwise contact a person you have added to your watchlist. The people on your list are not stored as Sphere contacts and are not messaged.
Frequently asked
Never. Sphere does not send SMS, push, email, or in-app messages to anyone on your watchlist. The only way they discover the connection is if they independently add you back.

A phone number (any country) or an Instagram handle. We hash both before they leave your device, so your watchlist is never readable on our servers.
Yes, anytime. If they hadn’t added you back, removing them leaves no trace anywhere of your interest.
Only if you grant permission, and only to surface phone numbers you might want to add — never to upload your address book to our servers in cleartext.
Not exactly. Sphere is a mutual-curiosity layer for people who already know each other but haven’t made the first move. It’s used by daters, reconnecting friends, secret crushes, and discreet adults alike.
