To ensure your thymia assessment captures the subtle indicators that help us understand your well-being, we'll need to configure Safari's privacy settings. We've created this comprehensive guide to help you establish a secure, reliable connection.

When Using a Desktop or Laptop

  1. When beginning a check, a pop-up should appear asking to give permission to use microphone

  2. Press 'Allow'

If there is no pop-up, alternatively:

  1. When you begin your wellness journey, you'll notice a red camera icon near the right side of your search bar—this is Safari's privacy control centre

  2. Select 'Always Allow' for both camera and microphone access to ensure consistent, high-quality engagement

  3. Refresh your browser (Command + R) to apply these changes
