A little hello. Your choice.

Text messages from Ian

Your Friend Ian is operated by Pop the Q LLC, registered for messaging as POP THE Q and trading as Big Moments Company. Your Friend Ian is the name you will see in this text program.

The optional program covers personalized local outing suggestions and reminders about saved plans and upcoming outings. Message frequency varies based on your preferences and saved reminders. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

How you choose texts

  1. Sign in to Your Friend Ian.
  2. Open Settings → Text messages. A link is also available from Reminders.
  3. Enter your own US or Canadian mobile number.
  4. Read the disclosure and optionally check the SMS consent box. It is never preselected.
  5. Choose Save text preferences. Saving requires the checked box. The app stores the number, exact disclosure, consent version, and consent time.

Entering a number, signing up for email, buying a membership, or messaging Ian on Facebook does not enroll you in SMS. You can use the app without choosing texts.
