Participants in "28 Days with ______" can either interact via text or through the app. For those opting for texts, the structure is always the same: every morning at around 8 a.m., the host texts everyone in your group. Normally the morning text has a voice message so you can hear the host in their own words. These morning prompts vary from day to day: a question, a task, or something the host wants everyone in the group to think about today. If you turn them on in the app, WayBetter also sends coaching texts on topics related to your event.
Do I have to give my phone number?
Texting is how your host reaches you every morning, so most people sign up with their cellphone. To join the free practice week, you'll need one: you join by texting the host's number or entering yours on the host's page. Texting is still optional after that. Text STOP any time and you can do everything inside the app: the host's message, the group, all of it.
What time do the texts arrive?
Your host's daily message comes around 8 a.m. your time, though you can change it in the app to anytime from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. Coaching texts related to your event are off unless you turn them on in the app, where you can also pick the days they come.
What if I text STOP?
STOP is a kill switch rather than one of our settings. Phone carriers govern it, and we have to honor it. Text STOP and every text from us stops, including your host’s morning message. Text START to resume.
Note that texting STOP does not cancel your experience. You remain enrolled, and you can continue in the app. But if what you want is fewer texts, better to change your settings in the app’s text preferences.
Do I need the app?
You don’t need it, but it will help you get the most out of what is intended to be a social experience. Note that your host cannot text you back (your texts don’t go to the host’s personal cellphone). That said, your host can read what you text back … they’ll see it in the social feed in the app (unless you set your privacy preferences to prevent that). So your host can get back to you by replying in the app, just not directly to you via text.
The app is also where you track your progress toward your host's prizes/incentives, choose which texts you get and when, and see what everyone else is posting. You do not need a paid WayBetter membership to join an event.
