How to move
Three steps, about two minutes.
- 01
Install the app.
Free, from the App Store or Google Play.
- 02
Sign in with your WhatsApp number.
On the sign-in screen choose "Already chat with Mama?" and type your number.
- 03
Send /login to Mama on WhatsApp.
She replies with a 6-digit PIN. Type it into the app and you are in.
What comes along
- Every expense and income you have logged
- Your budgets and spending caps
- Reminders and the bills that repeat
Found you! Your numbers came along, nothing to redo.
What changes
Nudges become notifications.
Bill reminders, the 10pm summary and the budget heads-up arrive from the app, not WhatsApp.
Everything else works the same.
Receipts, voice notes, the scam check and "roast me", exactly as before.
And a few things WhatsApp never had.
Budgets on a screen, analytics with a financial health score, split bill, and a whole month of statements in one upload.
Questions, answered
Will I lose anything?
Your expenses, income, budgets and reminders come along the moment you sign in with your WhatsApp number. The WhatsApp chat itself stays on WhatsApp.
Can I keep using WhatsApp for now?
Yes, until 30 September 2026. After that Mama stops replying on WhatsApp, so move before then.
I already made an app account with Google. Now what?
Sign out of the app and sign in with your WhatsApp number instead. The app tells you the same thing if it spots your number: that is the account with your expenses and budgets in it.
Is the app still free?
Yes. Everything you used on WhatsApp is free in the app.
