Multiple circles #2

Could the App have a personal Circle and Emergency Circle too, and be able to send a Emergency message to both at the same time?

"create different circles for different situations"

Mikaela commented 5 years ago

Would this issue include circles per country? If I need to trigger the app in home country, it's not that useful to alert my partner more than thousand kilometres away and if I am there, it would be better to alert local friends instead of people at home.

We are definitely considering that. The underlying new codebase system is built on Matrix (matrix.org), which essentially an encrypted group messaging platform. This means you can support groups/room easily with different members. We just need to figure out how to represent this in the user interface, without turning the app into Yet Another Messaging App.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Multiple circles are now supported, in the beta, and in the full app we are launching in November
