How we write these guides
The Eyrie team explains the app using its current screens and behaviour. Phone-setting advice links to the platform's own help. Menu names and features can vary by device, plan and app version; we state the limits rather than promise a phone will always report.
All app screenshots use fictional demonstration data. Spotted something that has changed? Send us a correction.
