Using it on your phone

Follow your AI app’s setup guide above. If the custom connection option is missing on your phone, complete setup in a desktop browser. Then sign in to the same AI account on your phone and select FlickDirect wherever that app supports custom connections.

Mobile support varies by app, account and chat mode. A connection available on the web may not be available in every mobile conversation. FlickDirect Connect works through your existing AI app; there is no separate FlickDirect Connect app to install.

A few things to know

Connect reads public FlickDirect information. It cannot change your account or post anything. There is no FlickDirect sign-in for this connection; your AI app’s plan and usage rules still apply.

Setup currently uses a custom connection. Visiting this page does not install it automatically. AI answers can make mistakes; check the linked sources.

To understand how Connect is used, our private administrator reports keep daily request totals and up to 200 recent search terms, movie titles, reported app names and request times. Recent details are shown for seven days and removed on the next reporting update after they expire. Totals are kept for 90 days. We do not collect IP addresses or account IDs for these reports, or record full conversations. Search terms can contain private text; avoid including personal information.
