Summary
Yes, NotePin S can be shared, but only one phone can be connected to the device at a time.
Definitions
- Connected: The phone has an active BLE connection to NotePin S in the Plaud App (device shows Connected).
- Shared: Multiple people can use the same physical device, either by using the same Plaud account on different phones or by rebinding the device to a different account.
- Bind/Unbind: Linking or unlinking the device to a specific Plaud account in the Plaud App.
Key limitations
- NotePin S cannot be connected to two phones at the same time (only one active connection/session).
- Sharing via the same Plaud account is the simplest approach when multiple people need access.
Option A (Recommended): Share using the same Plaud account
- On Phone A, disconnect the device in the Plaud App (or close the app / turn off Bluetooth temporarily) to release the connection.
- On Phone B, sign in to the Plaud App using the same Plaud account.
- From the device page, connect NotePin S.
Checkpoint: The device shows Connected on only one phone at any moment.
Option B: Use a different Plaud account (Unbind → Bind)
Important: Switching accounts may affect access to existing recordings tied to the previous account.
- On the current account, open the Plaud App → go to the device settings page.
- Tap Unbind (or Remove device) and confirm.
- Sign out, then sign in on the phone using the new Plaud account.
- Go to Add device, then follow the in-app pairing steps.
Checkpoint: The device appears under the new account and shows Connected on the device page.
Troubleshooting
- If the device won't connect on Phone B, confirm it's not still connected on Phone A (close the app or toggle Bluetooth on Phone A), then retry.
