Your home page: your circles and albums

Your home page

After signing in, you land on your home page, sometimes called your shelf. It's where every circle you belong to lives, along with any albums you're part of.

Your circles

Under Your circles, each circle has a card with its name, how many people are in it, and a line about the latest post. If you help run a circle, the card says you're an admin. Each card has three shortcuts:

• Open — go to the circle.
• Ask — search the circle or ask it a question.
• Post — jump straight to sharing something.

A circle that has been closed is marked Closed and has no Post shortcut. If a circle's subscription has ended and you've been paused, its card is marked Paused, and you can choose Leave circle from it.

Starting a circle

Choose Create a circle at the top of the page. See Start a circle for your family or group.

Your albums

When you're part of any albums, they're listed under Your albums, with how many posts each holds. Tap one to open it. Albums are made inside a circle; see Create an album from your circle.

Keeping up

Use the bell at the top of the page to catch up on notifications. If you're new, a getting-started guide may appear at the top of the page too.
