Lifeline and the internet

Lifeline requires Wifi access to the Internet to function.

It can be used when offline, but you must be connected to Wifi daily to cache the Quote Of The Day, and the latest video and audio clips.

The Voice Radio does work when offline, as well, but you must connect to the internet every few days to pull down the latest schedule.

Lifeline content requires Wifi and cannot currently be downloaded through P2P. If your friend receives a new video you don’t have, you can’t connect to their tablet via P2P to download it.

Lifeline on WhatsApp

If you don’t have access to internet on your tablet, but have WhatsApp on another device, consider receiving Lifeline updates through WhatsApp.
