# How will two rings be paired?

Heyou is being developed around a shared connection between two people. Follow the companion app instructions for setup when it becomes available.

## A shared connection
The phone connects to the ring, while the relationship connection identifies the person you exchange pictures with. Set it up together so the meaning of each little thought stays clear.

## Begin with both people’s agreement
Heyou can be a shared choice about expression. Receiving a ring as a gift should not be treated as an obligation to accept pairing or continue receiving messages.

## Setup and changes
Use the instructions for your app and device version when setting up or changing a connection. For a prototype or test device, contact the team for the matching procedure.
