The family feed and the friends feed

Two feeds: the inner ring sees both and can mark a post for immediate family only; friends only ever see the friends feed.

1 min readUpdated For: family, patient

The Family and Friends Feed is where the circle posts photos, audio clips and short videos, reacts and comments. The patient sees it all on their own device with big reactions, read-aloud and one-tap quick word-backs that speak out loud and post back as comments. Family members see the same feed in member mode.

There are two feeds. The inner ring (owner, caregiver role, family) sees both and switches between them; a post can be marked for immediate family only, and the server keeps it out of the friends feed. Friends (the extended ring) only ever see the friends feed. A new member who has not found the feed yet gets a gentle pointer until they open it once.

Today's update. On the account owner's own sign-in, the top of the feed carries Today's update on (the patient's first name): One message — everybody's inbox and phone, once a day. Write it and tap Send to everybody; it is posted on the feed as a circle update and sent out to the circle. Once a day means one calendar day on the patient's clock: a second one that day asks first, naming who sent today's and when, for example Sam already sent today's update on Sample at 5:10 AM. Send another one to everybody? OK sends it anyway.
