Getting started (Android)

Download from Google Play

Just go to Google Play on your Android smartphone and search for “Chiemo”.

Registration

You have the choice, either use one of your Social Network accounts or email address. Unlike other messengers we need to create a user profile (in Chiemo’s lingo we call it u::) in order to provide multi-device support.  This allows you to register once and use Chiemo on as many Android devices as you wish.

Register with your email address

Please enter your desired username (u::), email address and password. Your mobile phone number will be auto-detected in most cases, depending on your device and Android release level.

Register with your Social Network credentials

It works the same way with Google+, Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin – just log in.

Depending on your device configuration and Android release level your mobile phone number will be auto-detected or you will have to enter it manually.

Settings and My Profile

You successfully registered with either a unique Chiemo userid (u::) and email address or your Social Network credentials. Your mobile phone number is associated now with your Chiemo profile and cannot be changed. If for some reason you would like to change the associated mobile phone number you will have to delete your profile and register again.

You may now add your profile picture, set your global mood status and provide more personal information. Please be aware whatever information you provide will be shared in the Chiemo Phone Book, searchable and accessible by all users.

Chatting:: many options

Chatting using the Chiemo Social Messenger is different compared with messengers you might already have used – you have more options.

Go to Charlie (the Chiemo duck on the bottom left) and select emoticons, stickers or your flippers (mood status). Show your association, mood, where you work, what school you attend.

Or click on the blue triangle (top right) and select the security of the following messages.

New Message Notifications

No worries – we keep you posted. If you are not in the Chiemo Social Messenger app, working on something else and a new message arrives we send you a message, with profile picture and sender’s mood status, like where they are working at, what school they attend, or to what association they belong to.
