Frequently asked questions.

The short, honest answers to what people ask us most.

What is MangoContact?

MangoContact is a privacy-first tool for sharing your contact info live during a phone call. You generate a 6-digit code and an emoji, read them out loud, and the other person sees your details on their screen. No accounts, no contact lists kept, no spelling out emails letter by letter.

Do I need to create an account?

No. MangoContact has zero accounts. You open the site, enter the info you want to share for that call, and start a session. When the session ends, your data is destroyed and there's nothing to log into.

How does the 6-digit code work?

When you start a session you get a 6-digit code and one matching emoji. You read both to the person on the call. They go to mangocontact.com, type the digits, then tap the correct emoji from a small set of options. Once they pick the right emoji, your info appears live on their screen.

How long does a session last?

You choose 15, 30, or 60 minutes when you start. The session ends automatically when:

  • The timer runs out
  • You hit End session
  • Three wrong emoji guesses happen
  • Both sides go silent for 5 minutes (with a 60-second warning first)

Is my information secure?

Yes. Your session contents are encrypted in memory only — they're never written to disk and never indexed. The 6-digit code is the lock; the emoji is a second factor so a wrong number can't stumble onto your details. Three wrong emoji attempts and the session destroys itself. For the full picture, read our privacy policy.

What happens to my data after the session expires?

It's wiped. When the timer expires, you end the session, or it self-destructs from wrong attempts or inactivity, the encrypted blob is deleted from memory. We don't keep contact details, copies, or backups. There's nothing to recover later — by design. See the data policy for specifics.

What is the emoji for?

The emoji is a second factor. The 6-digit code is the lock; the emoji confirms the right person is using it. Without the emoji, anyone who happened to type your six digits could see your info. With it, the other person has to pick the matching emoji from a small set — and three wrong picks ends the session.

Can I extend my session?

Yes. While a session is live, the +15 min and +30 min buttons add time without interrupting the call. You can extend as many times as you need — useful for longer support calls or when the conversation runs long.

Is MangoContact free?

Yes. MangoContact is free to use. We may show ads on the surrounding pages to keep it that way, but the sharing tool itself stays free with no account required.

What devices does MangoContact work on?

Anything with a modern browser. iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge. There's no app to install. Both people just open mangocontact.com in a browser.
