There are several different ways to find your friends on Ohmywishes.
Manual search
In the “Friends” section, click on the “Find Friends” link. At the top of the page, a search bar will appear where you can search for Ohmywishes users:
- by @nickname;
- by first and last name specified in the profile.
Search via “Contacts”
This search option is only available in the iOS and Android Ohmywishes applications.
In the “Friends” section, click on the “Find Friends” link. When you visit for the first time, you will be prompted to link your phone number to your profile and grant the application access to your phone’s address book. After these conditions are met, the application will be able to compare phone numbers and email addresses from your phone with information about Ohmywishes users and display matches on the screen. Thus, a list of your friends already registered in Ohmywishes and linked to the phone number or email address stored in your contact list on your phone will appear on the screen.
Each subsequent time you visit the “Find Friends” screen, the contact list will automatically reload, displaying the current list of matches.
Important: Ohmywishes does not store user contact data on its servers and deletes it as soon as the user leaves the “Find Friends” screen. Ohmywishes also does not receive any additional information about contacts, requesting exclusively anonymized data about phone numbers and email addresses to find matches.
Search via VK ID
In the “Friends” section, click on the “Find Friends” link. If a VK ID is already linked to your profile, a list of friends from VK registered in Ohmywishes will be displayed automatically. Otherwise, you can link your VK ID directly on this screen, after which the list of friends will also be displayed.
Important: Ohmywishes does not receive any data about your profile/password or other settings from VK. VK provides Ohmywishes exclusively with an encrypted set of characters linked to the user. This data is deleted as soon as the user leaves the “Find Friends” screen.
