AirMoney Preview This build is intended for investors, early users, friends, and family to experience AirMoney’s core discovery and proximity technology before banking features are enabled. The goal is to validate nearby discovery, visibility, and background functionality in real-world conditions. To ensure the app functions correctly, please enable Location (Always Allow), Bluetooth, Notifications, Face ID, and Photos permissions when prompted. Background location is only used when you choose to enable the Background Visibility feature and assign a visibility duration in Settings. However, the Always Allow Location permission is required for discovery and background features to function properly. This version does not yet include bank account linking or money transfers. Those features will be added after discovery and background functionality has been fully validated. We appreciate your time and feedback as we continue preparing AirMoney for launch.
