Start a local battle
Use the local practice option in the app to fight a bot on your iPhone. This is a good place to learn face controls before joining an online opponent.
Practice does not require a Yap Slap server account. Your device still needs compatible face tracking and camera permission.
Build a small routine
Calibrate, try movement, then add attacks. Repeat one action until it feels predictable. Change your lighting or phone position if tracking becomes unreliable.
Take the next step
When you feel ready, try a friend duel. Online matches use the backend to coordinate players and record authoritative results; local practice is for learning the controls.
