Frequently Asked Questions

How does Laters.life work?

Record a personal video, choose your recipients, and decide how your message will be unlocked—by a Guardian, a future Timebomb date, or both. Your message stays private until it's unlocked, then becomes available to your chosen recipients, who will be notified via email.

Who can watch my videos?

Only the recipients you choose can watch your videos, and only after they have been unlocked. Recipients must be tagged to a specific video to watch that video. Until then, your videos remain private and cannot be viewed by anyone, not even your Guardian.

What is a Guardian, and what do they do?

A Guardian is someone you trust to unlock your videos when the time is right (after you have passed away). They can unlock your messages but can never view them unless they are also a recipient.

What is a Timebomb message?

A Timebomb message unlocks automatically on a date you choose. It can be used to deliver messages at a specific time in the future, or as a backup to ensure your videos are unlocked if your Guardian is unable to do so.

Can I use both a Guardian and a Timebomb for the same message?

Yes, we recommended using both.

Can I change or delete my videos after I've uploaded them?

Yes, you can edit the title, description, or delete the video.

Why is a subscription required?

Your subscription keeps your videos securely stored and available for the future. It covers the ongoing storage, maintenance, and reliability needed to ensure your messages are there when they matter most.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

If your subscription ends while your videos are still locked, you will no longer be able to upload new videos or use Laters.life features until you resubscribe. If your videos have already been unlocked, they will remain available for your recipients to view.

How do recipients know they have received a message?

When your message is unlocked, your recipients will be notified by email, and can access the video through the Laters.life app.

How do I add a Guardian and can they be updated any time?

When you add a Guardian, they will receive a special email notifying them that they have been chosen as your Guardian and providing instructions to register with Laters.life. You can change your Guardian at any time. It is important to let your Guardian know about Laters.life in advance so they understand their responsibility and know how to unlock your videos when needed.

Can my Guardian watch my videos before unlocking them?

No. Guardians cannot watch your videos unless they are also selected as a recipient of that specific video and the video has been unlocked. Guardians have no access or control over your account—they can only unlock your messages when the time comes.

Can I try the app before subscribing?

Yes, you can upload one small video to try Laters.life. However, Recipient and Guardian features are only available with a subscription.

Can I download my videos later?

No, the vidoes have to be watched inside the app.

Can I record messages for more than one person?

Yes you can add multiple people to one video, or multiple people can have thier own video, your only limited by the default storage space of 12GB..
