In detail

Create an invite

Following someone means viewing what they chose to share, with their permission. It is optional and does not include editing or care provided through the app.

At the top of Home, tap the people icon next to the bell to open Sharing. The same screen is in Settings → Sharing. Tap Invite someone: the link is created right away.

Send the link

In Link created, use Share to send it through WhatsApp or another app, or copy the address. The link works for 24 hours, for one person. There is no search by name: only someone who got your link can ask.

Until it is used, the invite stays in Active invites. Tap it to send it again or use Cancel invite. You can have more than one active invite at a time.

Accept an invite you received

Tap the link on your phone with CycloLab installed. If you are not signed in, sign in first: the invite opens right after. Check who invited you and tap Accept invite.

If the link opens in the browser instead of the app, use the 8-character code that comes in the link and the message: in Sharing, tap I have a code and enter it. You get to the same invite.

Accepting does not give you access right away. Whoever invited you still confirms and chooses what you will see. You are notified once they let you follow.

Let in whoever accepted

When someone accepts your invite, you get a notification and they show up in Waiting for you, in Sharing. Open the request: it shows their name, @username and which invite it came from.

Choose what they will see: Logs (doses taken and missed), Cycles (the details of your cycles), Photos (your progress photos) and Lab results (your lab reports and exam schedule). All of them start on: switch off what you don’t want to share and tap Let them follow. Access only starts then. To say no, use Decline.

Review who has access

In Sharing, Following you lists who sees your data and what each person sees. Tap someone to change what they see and tap Save, or to end it with Revoke access.

You follow lists the people who let you follow them. Tap someone to see what you see and, if you want, Unfollow.

Something went wrong?

I sent the link, but the person does not show up.

They need to open the link and tap Accept invite. Then the request shows up in Waiting for you. If the invite left Active invites with no request, it expired or was cancelled: create another one.

The link opens in the browser, not the app.

Use the invite code: it shows on the page that opened and in the message. In the app, go to Sharing, tap I have a code and enter the 8 characters.

The link says the invite no longer works.

An invite expires after 24 hours and can be used once. Ask whoever sent it for a new one.

Does letting someone follow me show all my data?

No. They only see what is switched on for them, and you can change it later. No option lets them edit your account or cycles, or log uses on your behalf.

Can’t find this option? Check that your app is up to date.
