Got a WheresNow invite code? Here's how to join the circle.
New to WheresNow? Sign up and tap Continue. Already have an account? Open the circle picker and tap Create or Join Circle.
Enter the six-character code in the boxes at the top.
Tap Submit to join. You'll see your family on the map.
If you can't join, the app will tell you why: the code may be incorrect, you may already be a member, or the circle may have reached its limit of ten people.
On the free plan you can be in one circle. To join another, upgrade to Premium, unless that circle has the Family plan.
Invite codes are valid for two days. If yours has expired, ask for a new one.
When you join, everyone in the circle is notified that you can now see their location.
Nobody joins a circle without the others knowing. To check who can see your location, open Settings and tap Who can see me.
WheresNow Family. Stay close, wherever you are.
