Find everything in Collections & more

One place for everything you can browse

Near the top of your circle, you'll see a tab labeled Collections & more. Tap it to see the people, collections, chapters, and sharing albums in your circle, without scrolling back through the feed.

What's inside

• People — everyone in your circle.
• Collections — the groups of posts your circle has built up, such as family recipes or old letters, each showing how many posts are in it.
• Chapters — the trips and get-togethers your circle has grouped together.
• Albums — any sharing albums made in your circle.

Each row shows small pictures. Swipe or scroll sideways to see everything in that row, and tap any one to open it.

When your circle doesn't have any collections or chapters yet, those rows show a short note about what will appear there. Collections start showing up on their own as your circle shares more, and once your circle has posts to choose from, you can tap Start a chapter on the Chapters row to begin one yourself. If your circle is free, or you haven't published a sharing album of your own yet, the Albums row explains sharing albums and offers Create an album.

Sharing albums in the Albums row

Each sharing album in the Albums row shows its name and how many photos it holds. Tap it to open it.

Everyone who is an active member of the circle can view its published sharing albums, including private ones. Posting and commenting still follow each sharing album's settings.

Only published sharing albums appear there. A sharing album someone is still putting together stays private to them until they're ready, so a surprise stays a surprise. If a sharing album is later archived, it leaves the list too. Nothing is deleted, and restoring it brings it back.

Making sharing albums is part of Premium. In a free circle, the Create an album link shows you how to add Premium first. Anything already made stays where it is.

Sending photos another way?

At the end of the People row, you'll find a tile for adding by email or text. Tap it to save your own personal circle contact card, which has your own circle email address on it.

It starts closed

Collections & more starts closed each time you open your circle, on every device, so the latest posts are the first thing you see.
