Never lose your phone
for good

Add a pingable.me QR code to your lock screen. If someone finds your phone, they scan it to message you, a partner, a family member, or a friend — no personal info shared, no unlock needed.

It happens more than you think

🍽️

Left at a restaurant

Staff scan the QR and message you before you even notice

🚕

Forgotten in a taxi

Driver scans your lock screen to arrange a return

🏋️

Dropped at the gym

A fellow member can reach you without handing it to reception

✈️

Lost while travelling

A good samaritan scans to reach you — even across languages

Why the lock screen?

Visible without unlocking

The finder doesn't need your passcode. The QR is right there on the screen.

Works offline

The QR code is just an image on your screen — no internet needed to show it.

No personal info exposed

Unlike writing your number on the lock screen, a QR keeps your details private until you choose to share.

Set it once, forget it

Takes 2 minutes to set up. Then it's there forever — ready if you ever need it.

How to set it up

It takes about 2 minutes. Here's what to do.

First: get your QR code

If you don't have one yet, it's free and takes 30 seconds.

1
Go to pingable.me and sign in (Google or email — free).
2
Create a QR code and choose how people can contact you (anonymous chat, WhatsApp, email, phone, or any link).
3
Download the QR code as a PNG image to your phone.

iPhone

iOS 16 or later

1
Make sure the QR code PNG is saved to your Photos app.
2
Long-press on your lock screen until you see the customisation view. Tap the + button.
3
Choose Photos and select your QR code image.
4
Pinch and drag to position the QR code in the lower-centre of the screen — below the clock, above the flashlight and camera buttons.
5
Tap Add, then choose Set as Lock Screen.
6
Lock your phone and test it — ask someone to scan the QR with their camera app.

Alternative: Open Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper, tap Photos, and select your QR image. Same result.

Android

Android 12 or later

1
Make sure the QR code PNG is saved to your phone's gallery.
2
Open Settings → Wallpaper & style (or long-press the home screen and tap Wallpaper).
3
Tap My photos and select your QR code image.
4
Choose Lock screen only so it doesn't replace your home screen wallpaper too.
5
Drag and resize to position the QR code in the lower half of the screen, centred.
6
Tap Set wallpaper. Lock your phone and test it with a scan.

Note: Exact menu names vary by manufacturer (Samsung, Pixel, etc.) but the steps are the same.

Tips for best results

  • Position the QR in the lower-centre of the screen — this avoids the clock and is the easiest area to scan.
  • Use a simple, high-contrast background. The default pingable.me QR (dark on white) works perfectly.
  • Keep the QR code large — it should be at least a quarter of the screen height.
  • Test it! Ask someone to point their phone camera at your lock screen to make sure it scans.
  • If auto-brightness dims your screen too much, turn it up before someone scans.
