ally is the most accessible AI assistant—like calling a helpful friend who always picks up. Whether you’re asking for advice, scanning a document, or pointing at a menu, ally is ready to support you, wherever you are.

This guide will walk you through two simple parts: how to download the ally app on your iPhone, and how to create your account and verify your phone number.

Downloading the ally app

1. Unlock your iPhone: Start by unlocking your phone using your passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID—whatever you usually use.
2. Open the App Store: Go to your home screen and look for the App Store icon. Tap once to open it. If you’re using VoiceOver, swipe left or right with one finger until you hear App Store, then double-tap to enter.
3. Search for ally: At the bottom right corner, tap on Search—In the search bar at the top, type or dictate: ally by Envision.
4. Find the right app: You’re looking for ally: accessible AI assistance by Envision Technologies.
5. Download the app: Tap the button that says Get or Download.
6. Your iPhone might ask you to confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password—go ahead and follow the steps.
7. Wait for it to install: When the download is complete, the button will change to Open. That means you’re ready for the next step.

Creating your ally account

1. Open the ally app: Once the app is downloaded, tap Open. The welcome screen will guide you through the first setup.
2. Choose how you want to sign in: You’ll see three options to get started. Pick the one that works best for you: Continue with Apple, Continue with Google and Continue with Email
3. They all work the same in the end—it’s just about what’s easiest for you. If you’re unsure, we usually recommend Continue with Email, since it’s the most universal.
4. Enter your phone number: After choosing how to sign in, you’ll be asked to enter your mobile phone number.
5. Make sure your phone has reception, because ally will send you a 6-digit verification code by text message.
6. Enter the verification code: Once you receive the code, type it in where prompted. This confirms your identity and activates your ally account and that’s it—you’re in. You’re now ready to start using ally.

Allow Permissions

1. To use ally, please make sure your microphone and camera are enabled.
2. When prompted, select allow or yes to give the required access.
3. If you accidentally deny access, you can change this later in your smartphone’s settings under the ally app permissions.
