Family messages in your Circle

Your Circle has a built-in message space so the people who care about you can check in, send photos, and share small updates. Here is how it works.

Your Circle has a built-in message space so the people who care about you can check in, send photos, and share small updates, without the clutter of group texts, email threads, and social media.

It is a quieter place. Just your people.

To send a message

  1. Go to Family & FriendsMessages from the side menu.

  2. Type what you want to say, or tap the photo icon to add a picture.

  3. Tap Send.

Everyone in your Circle sees it. If someone is away for a few days, they see it when they come back.

To invite someone new to your Circle

  1. Go to Family & FriendsMy Circle.

  2. Tap Invite.

  3. Enter their name and email. They get a short invitation with a link. Once they accept, they can send and receive messages alongside you.

A few things worth knowing

  • Messages are private to your circle. SeniorThrive staff do not read them. Other users cannot see them. They belong to your family.

  • Photos stay, too. If your granddaughter sent a picture from graduation last spring, scroll up and it is still there.

  • You can leave anytime. If a relationship changes and you would rather not share anymore, remove the person from My Circle → their name → Remove. Their old messages stay in the thread, but they stop receiving new ones.
