FAQ
What is app to app shipment sharing?
App to app sharing is a new option in the InPost Mobile app, which allows you to share full control of a shipment with another user of the app (with a different phone number), allowing them to perform any actions they could with their own shipment, such as remote locker opening, extending the parcel's storage time, paying for COD shipments, etc. App to app sharing is available for shipments with statuses that allow any such actions to be taken.
How many people can I pair with?
You can pair with as many people as you want.
After pairing, will the other person see all my shipments?
Your friend will only see the shipments you share with them. Parcels do not share automatically after pairing. This means that after pairing the devices, you should find the shipment that you want to share and go through the app to app sharing process.
Will the person with whom I share my shipment be able to share it further?
Because of shipment security concerns, it is not possible to share a shared shipment further.
Can I remove a paired user?
Yes, you can remove a paired user and pair with them again later.
Is it possible to undo app to app sharing, i.e. make the shipment disappear from the other person's app?
No, it is not possible to undo shipment sharing. Once a shipment is shared, it stays in the other user's app.
What if there is a problem with app pairing?
First, make sure that both apps are updated. If not, manually update the app in the app store (Google Play, App Store, or Huawei App Gallery).
