After the registration is complete - the nickname will be available to the public. This means that other users can find you using the search bar in Gem Space interface and communicate with you.

Users who are not from your telephone contact list can only see your nickname and profile picture. Your telephone number will not be available to them.

In this case, you can be sure that the message will be deleted from our servers with no possibility to restore it.


My account was blocked. How to restore it?

Blocking the account is the most harsh measure we can apply against a user for doing something bad via Gem Space.  

“Bad” means that you did something illegal, inappropriate, infringed other users’ rights, or otherwise violated documents governing Gem Space service.

This means that we blocked your account for a reason.

If you disagree with us, please write us an email support@gemspace.com


How can I log-out?

We keep you logged-in all the time so that you can continuously enjoy using Gem Space with no interruptions. Usually you do not need to log-out from Gem Space. 

However if you want to do this for any reason you can log-out in your account settings. 

To log-in Gem Space again, it will ask you to enter your telephone number and send you a verification code using the number. You will be logged-in after submitting the correct verification code in the Gem Space interface. Your communication history will not be removed.


How can I know that my contact uses Gem Space?

After synchronizing your telephone book with the service you can see who is a user of Gem Space and who is not. 

The users of Gem Space will be shown on the top of your contact list before creating a chat or a public. Other contacts which are not the users will have an “invite” button next to the contact name.


Can I change my nickname?

Yes. You can change it on account settings.


How can I prohibit users from communicating to me?

You can prohibit users from communicating with you by adding them to a block list. 

You can see the list with blocked users on your profile settings.


Do you comply with GDPR?

Yes. We fully comply with the obligations in respect to your data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into force in Europe on May 25, 2018. 

You can enjoy your rights under the GDPR, get to know about protection mechanisms we use and learn more about your privacy in Gem Space by addressing Privacy Policy


What if I change my telephone number?

Unfortunately, as your phone number is connected to your account, the possible solution is to open/create a new account. However, your content, messaging history etc will not be synchronized with the new one.


What do the checks on the message mean?

As in most messaging services we use checks to show the status of your communications in Gem Space. 

If the message you send has no check to it, this means that it was not delivered to your addressee. We will notify you on the status of the message in the chat/public page. 

One check means that the message was sent to the contact. Two checks means that your friend read the message.


Somebody stole my account. What should I do?

Every Gem Space account is personal to every user and is linked to his/her telephone number. It cannot be shared or transferred to someone else. And you are the only one to have confidential access details, e.g. verification codes which we send you in order to log-in to your account.

Unless you lost your device or someone else started using your telephone number, we would not be able to help you. Your number is the only way we can identify you.

You can try to delete your account by addressing  our support team using the email support@gemspace.com. If you delete it, the user of your number will have no access to your account information and message history. 

You can continue using Gem Space only after registration of a new account which is linked to your new phone number. In this case we cannot restore your data and message history from the previous account.


How can I turn off notifications from Gem Space?

You can turn off notifications from Gem Space by adjusting your account settings. So you will not receive notification from Gem Space of any kind.

You can also make any chat or bot “silent” and receive no notifications from it in the settings of certain chats or bots. 

In doing so, you might miss important or interesting information.

Note that we will have no responsibility for the consequences if you turn off notifications.


My content/bot/channel/sticker was blocked. What can I do to restore it?

We remove your content, block your bots, channels or stickers for a reason. 

The reason that it is illegal, inappropriate, infringing other users’ rights, or otherwise conflicts with documents governing Gem Space service.

If you disagree with the measures we took, please write us email supportservice@gem4me.com.


Can I create chats for more than one user?

Yes. You can use group chats, channels and communities to do so.

You can create group chats from users in your contact list and communicate with them simultaneously. 

You can also create channels. In order to join the public chat, users who are not on your contact list, can perform name search using the Search bar and add themselves to the conversation.

And you can collect channels and group chats into communities on the topic of your choice.

Using the privacy settings, you can allow any Gem Space user to join the chat.


Someone pretends to be me. What can I do?

Unfortunately, this happens. Please let us know about this via support@gemspace.com. We will see what we can do.
