Set up the conversation without oversharing.
Practical, source-backed setup checks for mobile, desktop, permissions, notifications, sessions, voice and device switching in adult AI companion services.
A check records one task on one setup. It is not a certification, legal conclusion or promise that every person will have the same result.
Complete the task
Use keyboard, sequential access and touch without traps or hidden focus.
Know what happens next
Keep controls, costs, errors and fictional AI disclosures clear.
Preserve the limits
Name the device, access method, result, barrier, date and what was not checked.
One device. One setting. One honest result.
These guides turn broad setup advice into small, repeatable checks. Unknown stays unknown, vendor statements stay labeled, and private chat data stays out of the evidence.
