Let them know they made your heart Throb by sending a special message that stands out in their inbox. ❤️🔥
Sending a Throb
To send a Throb, start by sending a typing message – from their profile, or from your inbox. Tap the heart icon to the left when you’ve typed your message, and you’ll be prompted to send it as a Throb instead. Complete your purchase, and let them know they made your heart Throb.
After sending a Throb, they’ll see this indicated on your profile in their inbox and on their grid.
Currently, Throbs are for chats only – it’s not possible to share Albums, or send audio or photo messages as Throbs.
You can enjoy 1 free Throb every month. This is based on when you send your first Throb, and your next free Throb will be available one month afterwards. You can always purchase additional Throbs.
Receiving a Throb
In your inbox, Throb messages are indicated by a red border around the sender’s profile picture, a red unread badge, and a Throb icon beneath the message. Otherwise, they’ll appear in your inbox chronologically as normal. When you open up a Throb, an animation will play.
When you receive a Throb, you won’t see a preview of the message from your push notification or inbox – you’ll have to open it up to see what’s inside.
Throbs can be deleted from your inbox like any other message.
