Using RingIt

This section is about the app itself. It covers setting up an account, choosing who is allowed to ring your phone, what happens on the receiving end, and which permissions each platform asks for and why. There are answers about the ring options, about what the free version includes and where the subscription starts, and about what to check when a ring does not come through. RingIt does one thing: it makes a phone ring, loudly, even when the ringer is off. It does not show you a location and it does not track anyone, so if you need a map the answers here point you to Find My on iPhone or Find Hub on Android.

• Can I ring my own phone from another device?

  Yes. RingIt treats your own devices like anyone else's, so an old phone or a tablet signed in to your account can ring your main phone. Apple's Find My and Google's Find Hub do the same from another device you own. Whichever you use, the spare device has to be set up before you need it.
