A Glympse Account confirms your identity before you can:
- Create and join a Glympse Private Group
- Purchase a Glympse Premium Tag or Premium Share
This confirmation is required to provide security, privacy, and confidence to those within the group. Therefore, all individuals sharing their locations are invited to join and undergo validation to confirm their identity. Furthermore, possessing a Glympse Account is mandatory for acquiring any Premium Features, ensuring that users can access their Glympse Premium Tag or Premium Share across all devices where they are authenticated. Verifying a Glympse Account also enables people to link different phones/devices to their same Glympse account.
How to Create a Glympse Account: To create a Glympse Account, you must enter your email when prompted to authenticate your Glympse account. Glympse will, at that time, send you a one-time verification code to your email account. You will simply place that code into the Glympse app. It takes just a few seconds to complete.
