You have full control over how Bud Bombs behave on your end. From sound effects to privacy preferences, Buddzy lets you customize the experience so it fits your vibe perfectly. Plus, there is a sneaky little feature called the Blast Note that adds a whole extra layer of personalization to every Bud Bomb you send.
How It Works
Your Bud Bomb settings live in the app's settings section. Here you can tweak three main categories that affect how you send and receive Bud Bombs:
Sound Settings
- Toggle Bud Bomb sound effects on or off
- When enabled, receiving a Bud Bomb plays audio alongside the visual animation
- When disabled, the visual animation still plays but in complete silence — stealth mode for when you are in class or a meeting
Privacy Settings
- Control who can send you Bud Bombs
- Adjust your visibility preferences for Bud Bomb-related activity
- Fine-tune how your Bud Bomb interactions appear in your profile
Behavior Settings
- Customize how received Bud Bombs display on your screen
- Configure the overall Bud Bomb experience to match your preferences
- These settings only affect your experience — they never change what your friend sees when you send them one
The Blast Note
This is one of the best hidden features in Buddzy. When you send a Bud Bomb, you can attach a Blast Note — a short personal message of up to 50 characters that gets delivered along with the animation. It is optional, but it takes an already amazing moment and makes it genuinely unforgettable.
Great Blast Note ideas:
- "happy birthday legend" (22 characters)
- "proud of you always" (19 characters)
- "100 day streak lets gooo" (24 characters)
- "just because you are awesome" (28 characters)
- "miss you" (8 characters)
Fifty characters is not a lot, but that is the point. It forces you to keep it real and keep it raw. The best Blast Notes are short, punchy, and straight from the heart.
Pro Tips
- Keep sound on if you want the full immersive Bud Bomb experience
- Turn sound off if you use Buddzy in quiet environments and do not want surprise audio
- Always consider adding a Blast Note — even a simple "thinking of you" transforms a cool animation into a meaningful memory
- Your Blast Note gets saved in the Bomb Log, so make it something worth remembering
- Blast Notes have a 50-character limit, so draft your message before you start the sending flow
Good to Know
Changing your Bud Bomb settings only affects your own experience. Your sound preferences control what you hear — they have no effect on what others see or hear when they receive Bud Bombs. Similarly, privacy settings control what happens on your screen and your profile — they do not limit what others can do. Your settings, your rules, your vibe.
