on Google Play

The app is free. You don't need to pay anything.

The app is for SGD members. Use the same phone number you gave us when you became a member.
Keep that phone with you: we will send it a text message (SMS) with a code.
You need internet access (Wi-Fi or mobile data).

Take your time — it only takes a few minutes.

Download the app
Tap the button above for your phone. If you're on a computer, scan the QR code with your phone's camera instead. The store opens — tap "Install" (Android) or "Get" (iPhone).
On an iPhone you may be asked to confirm with Face ID, your fingerprint or your Apple ID password. That's normal.
Open the app
When the download is finished, tap "Open" — or find the new icon called "Syrische Gemeinde" on your home screen and tap it.
Swipe through the welcome screens
You'll see a few short screens about the community. Tap "Next", and on the last one tap "Get started".
Enter your phone number
Choose your country (for example Germany), then type your phone number without the country code. Tap "Send OTP".
Example for Germany: type 1701234567, not +49 1701234567.
Type in the code from the SMS
Within a minute you'll get a text message with a 6-digit code. Type the code into the app and tap "Verify".
No SMS after a minute? Check the number is correct, then tap "Resend Code".
Add your name and photo
Type your full name and choose a profile photo so other members recognise you. Then tap "Complete Registration".
Allow notifications
When your phone asks whether the app may send notifications, tap "Allow". Otherwise you won't hear about new messages.
You're in!
Your groups and chats appear on the main screen. Tap a group to read and write messages. If your account still needs to be approved, you'll see a waiting screen — you'll be notified once it's ready.

Only members can sign in to the app. Apply for membership first — once you're accepted, you can sign in with your phone number.

If something doesn't work, write to us and tell us what you see on your screen. We're happy to help.
