Frequently asked questions about a virtual hug
Practical answers about easily creating, instantly sharing, keeping and deleting a personal virtual hug.
Is Big Hug For You free?
Yes. You can create a personal virtual hug for free without an account and instantly share it with a link.
How do I create a virtual hug?
Write a short message, add your name if you like and select Create my hug. You will immediately receive a personal link to share.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. There is nothing to install and no account is required. The site works directly in your browser.
Can I send the hug through WhatsApp?
Yes. After creating it, you can share the personal link directly through WhatsApp. You can also copy it for Signal, email, text message or another service.
Can I leave my name out of the link?
Yes. Leave the checkbox off if you only want the code after the domain. The receiver will then see your name only on the page itself, if you filled in a name.
How long does a virtual hug remain available?
A hug remains available for 1 year by default. You can also choose 7 days, 30 days or no end date when creating it.
Are personal hug messages indexed by Google?
No. Personal receiver pages automatically use noindex, so they are not meant to appear in search engines.
Can the receiver delete the hug?
Yes. The receiver can use the Privacy link on the received hug to delete that specific hug immediately.
What is the difference between a digital hug and a virtual hug?
In practice, there is no difference here. Both terms describe a personal online message that you send to someone through a link.
Can I include the virtual hug with flowers or a gift?
Yes. After creating it, you can save or print a personal QR card. Attach it to a bouquet, place it with a gift or add it to a card. The receiver scans the QR code and immediately sees your personal hug. The QR link is view-only and does not include a delete option.
