Konvo is Instagram with only the messages. A paid Konvo subscription is required to access Instagram DMs through the app. Available plans, prices, billing periods, and any eligible free trial are shown before you confirm an Apple in-app purchase. Sign in with your Instagram account and Konvo opens straight to your inbox. The feed, Reels, and Explore never load. Your chats are exactly as you left them, and everything you send and receive shows up in Instagram like normal, because it is Instagram, just only the part you actually need. WHAT KONVO DOES - Opens directly to your Instagram inbox, every time - No feed, no Reels, no Explore, anywhere in the app - Your DMs, group chats, message requests, and story replies all work - You sign in on instagram.com inside the app. Konvo never sees or stores your password BLOCK THE REAL INSTAGRAM, IF YOU WANT Connect Konvo to Screen Time and the Instagram app itself gets blocked behind a shield. Your messages stay one tap away in Konvo. You get two five-minute passes a day to unlock Instagram for the things that need the real app: posting a story, a picture, or calling someone. When the pass ends, Instagram locks itself again. The block is optional and you can turn it off whenever you want. OPTIONAL MESSAGE NOTIFICATIONS AND PRIVACY Get alerts for new Instagram DMs while Konvo is closed. If you enable this feature, Konvo stores an encrypted Instagram sign-in session on its server to check for new messages. Message content is processed temporarily in memory and is not saved. You can disconnect in Message notifications settings. Konvo collects basic usage analytics to improve the app. Konvo requires an Instagram account. Konvo is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Message notifications are rolling out in a limited pilot for new users, subject to available places. Already connected accounts keep access.

About

IBS Tenants

Features
Read full description

The tenant app for renters whose agency runs on IBS. If the agency that manages your tenancy uses the IBS property platform, IBS Tenant puts your contracts, your payment schedule and your branch appointments in one place - without a phone call or an email chain. WHO CAN CREATE AN ACCOUNT Only tenants already registered with an agency that uses IBS. The app does not create tenancies and it cannot sign you up as a renter - it creates the login for a tenancy your agency already holds on file. To create an account you need: - A current or past tenancy with an agency that uses IBS - Access to the email address recorded on that tenancy. This is the main address on your tenant record; an alternate address will not work. Enter that email and we send you a 6-digit code to confirm it, then you choose your own password. If the address is not on an agency's records, no code arrives and no account is created. If your tenancies are spread across more than one agency, a single login covers all of them. Not sure which address your agency holds, or no code arriving? Contact your agency - they can confirm or update the email on your record. TRACK EVERY PAYMENT See what you have paid and what is still outstanding at a glance. Upcoming payments are listed with amounts, dates, receipt numbers and payment method, and each one is clearly marked as paid, unpaid or bounced. KEEP YOUR CONTRACTS TO HAND Browse your active, expired and ended contracts. Each one shows the property, unit numbers, tenancy term and rent, so the details are there the moment you need them. BOOK A BRANCH VISIT Choose the contracts your visit is about, pick a date and an available timeslot, add a note for the branch, and you are booked. Review or cancel an appointment at any time. MORE THAN ONE TENANCY If your contracts span several branches, switch between them in a tap and everything updates to the branch you are viewing. KEEPING YOUR ACCOUNT SECURE Turn on two-factor authentication with any authenticator app, with recovery codes in case you lose your device. Change your password, or reset a forgotten one, from the app. ENGLISH AND ARABIC Fully translated with right-to-left support, plus light, dark and system themes. IBS Tenant is a viewing and booking app. It does not process rent payments.
