Call & Connection Troubleshooting

Cannot receive incoming calls or notifications when screen is locked

If incoming calls do not ring while the app is in the background or the screen is turned off, please verify your iOS notification and power settings:

  1. Enable Notifications: Go to iOS Settings > Tsuwa > Notifications. Ensure Allow Notifications is enabled, and check Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners.
  2. Check Focus Mode: If Do Not Disturb or Focus mode is active, incoming call alerts may be silenced. Add Tsuwa to the allowed notifications list.
  3. Background App Refresh: Go to iOS Settings > General > Background App Refresh and verify that Tsuwa is turned on.
  4. Network Connection: Ensure that your device has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular). Toggling Airplane Mode on and off can help refresh network routing.
No sound during calls / Other party cannot hear me (Microphone Permission)

To transmit your voice, Tsuwa requires access to your device's microphone. If you declined the permission prompt during initial launch, enable it via iOS Settings:

  1. Open the iOS Settings app on your device.
  2. Scroll down and tap Tsuwa.
  3. Toggle the Microphone switch to ON (Green). (If you plan to use video calls, enable Camera as well.)
  4. Return to Tsuwa and initiate the call again.

Tip: If you are using Bluetooth headphones or AirPods, make sure they are connected and selected as the audio output in the iOS Control Center.

Call disconnects or fails to connect (Network Errors)

Connection failures are typically caused by network firewalls or unstable Wi-Fi connections:

  • Switch Networks: If the connection fails on Wi-Fi, try switching to cellular data (4G/5G), or vice versa.
  • Restricted Networks: Corporate LANs, school campuses, and public hotspots may block WebRTC / VoIP media ports (UDP traffic).
  • VPN / Proxies: If you are using a VPN, it might interfere with direct peer-to-peer routing. Try temporarily disabling your VPN to test connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Tsuwa?

Tsuwa is a next-generation hybrid calling application combining P2P WebRTC technology and SIP telephony. It offers crystal-clear, low-latency audio calls with zero user registration required, alongside seamless enterprise PBX and PSTN compatibility.

Are calls really free?

Yes, all Tsuwa app-to-app calls are 100% free of charge. Calls operate over the internet, so standard data carrier charges may apply if you are on a cellular connection (Wi-Fi recommended).

Do I need to register a phone number or personal account?

No. Tsuwa does not require phone number verification, email registration, or passwords. When you launch the app for the first time, a unique Peer ID is automatically generated for your device so you can start calling immediately.

Are calls secure and encrypted?

Yes. 1-on-1 calls are transmitted directly between devices via WebRTC with end-to-end encryption (DTLS and SRTP). We do not record, intercept, or store audio/video media on our servers.

How can I reset my Peer ID or request data deletion?

In compliance with Apple App Store Guideline 5.1.1(v), you can delete all local data and regenerate your Peer ID at any time by going to Settings > Reset Account & Delete Data within the Tsuwa app.

Uninstalling the app also removes all local application data. To request the removal of server-side push notification tokens, you can contact our support team at [email protected].
