About Circles

Welcome to Circles — the zero-friction, privacy-first social app designed exclusively for your real-life mutual contacts.

Say goodbye to stranger DMs, unwanted friend requests, tracking algorithms, and public profile snooping. Circles lets you share life’s genuine moments securely with the people who matter most.

🔒 WHY CIRCLES?

• ZERO FRIEND REQUESTS
No requests to send, accept, or ignore. Circles automatically connects you ONLY with people who have your phone number saved in their address book and whose number you have saved too. Mutual privacy, guaranteed.

• PRIVACY BY DESIGN (ENCRYPTED MATCHING)
Your contacts remain 100% private. Contact matching uses salted cryptographic hashing (PBKDF2 & SHA-256) so your address book is never exposed or uploaded in plain text.

• CUSTOM AUDIENCE CIRCLES
Not everything is meant for everyone. Organize your mutual contacts into custom Circles — like Family, Close Friends, Work Buddies, or Gym Group — and choose exactly who gets to view each post.

• ALGORITHM-FREE CHRONOLOGICAL FEED
Experience a clean, ad-free feed sorted purely by time. No engagement algorithms pushing sponsored content, clickbait, or strangers into your stream.

• RICH MEDIA & INTERACTIVE COMMENTS
Share high-quality photos, write status updates, react with emojis, and join private comment conversations visible strictly to authorized mutual contacts.

• DIRECT WHATSAPP INTEGRATION
Connect seamlessly with your mutual contacts. 1-tap WhatsApp chat integration lets you message or invite friends directly without leaving the context of your feed.

• PRIVATE USER PROFILES
View and manage your published posts, edit your profile display name, and inspect mutual user profiles showing only the posts authorized for you.
