Add a picture for your circle

Give your Circle a picture so everyone can spot it at a glance — on your shelf and at the top of the Circle's page.

Who can add one

The person who set up the Circle and its admins can add, change, or remove the picture. Everyone else in the Circle sees it, but can't change it.

Adding or changing the picture

  1. Open your Circle on the website.
  2. Near your Circle's name at the top of the page, choose Circle options, then Circle settings.
  3. In the Circle picture section, choose Add a picture, or Change picture if your Circle already has one.
  4. Pick a photo from your device, take a new one, or choose one from a connected service.
  5. Move and zoom the photo until it looks the way you want, then choose Apply Crop. That saves the picture, so there's no separate Save button.

Your new picture can take a moment to appear while we finish checking it. Until then, the section says Your new picture is processing. Everyone in the circle will see it when it's ready. Choosing a new picture replaces the old one, and the old one is deleted.

Removing the picture

  1. In Circle settings, choose Remove picture.
  2. Choose Yes, remove the picture to confirm.

Your Circle goes back to showing the first letter of its name, and the photo is deleted. You can add a new picture any time.

Good to know

  • The picture can only be set on the website. Texting or emailing a photo to your Circle adds it as a post, never as the Circle's picture.
  • A closed Circle keeps its picture, but it can't be changed until the Circle is opened again.
  • If the person who added the picture deletes their ShareLocket account, the picture is removed from the Circle and deleted.
  • Each time you add or change the picture, choose a fresh photo. A photo that's already your profile picture, or another Circle's picture, can't also be this Circle's picture.
  • The picture belongs to the Circle, so it stays the same for every chapter, post, and member.
