Lost Mode
Lost Mode lets you control when your private contact information is shown to others.
When ON, your phone numbers, email addresses, home address and all your default pet info will be visible to the person who scans your pet’s QNode. Makes it perfect for helping you find your pet quickly.
When OFF, only the default pet info is shown. But don't worry, location sharing remains active at all times, so you’ll still receive their location even if its off.
This gives you peace of mind knowing you're in control — you can share your details only when you choose.
