The changes do not show in tools. That's only place I look at it as well.

That suggests the changes haven't been made to the records. Work with the clerk to resolve how it shows in Member Tools.

@jdlessley, your answers to these posts seem to address adding people to a circle, which I cannot get to work, by the way. But don't address adding a new circle. I would like to add a circle for ward young men leadership and a circle for ward youth leadership, but cannot add a circle. Back to adding people to a circle, I am the bishop. I am the administrator. But when I try to add a person to a circle (for example, adding my Priest Quorum Specialist to the Priest Quorum group), I can add the calling but when I try to add a person, I can select the person from the ward list, but after selecting that member, the Add button in the top right is not responsive and I can not add the person.

I don't believe that feature has been implemented yet. I have not seen anyone mentioning it being implemented and I have not seen any method in the app to accomplish that. Only the default circles appear to be usable.

When I add a person by name or by calling there is a few minutes delay after tapping the checkmark before the person or the person with the calling appears on the list. Sometimes I get a message at the bottom of the screen that it is going to take a few minutes. There are times when I get no message and it appears nothing is happening; but patience prevails after a few minutes and the list gets updated. I have only tried adding people or callings with my phone on WiFi. I have no idea how long it would take if I was using my data plan.

Can I add a new circle for Stake Youth Council ? Giving this feature to create circles would make the gospel living app the app of choice to our youth as it is intended when can something like this be available?

The last that anyone heard, the ability to create new circles is not available. No information about if/when the ability to create circles will be added.

Custom circles are still not yet available.

Hello :

I support the he idea of adding the ability for leaders or a member of the bishopric to create custom circles for their units to use.

This will allow organization leaders to create groups such as "youth leaders" or "service committee" or other groups with specific members participating in that group.

This will also allow organizations to drop all external applications such as whatsapp Facebook messenger and discord which have these features and keep participants safe from abuse form outside parties.

We've had a situation where a 3rd party threatened a youth on FB with sharing doctored inappropriate pictures to their FB church friends. Having control over who accesses the platform such as circles will help eliminate these situations.

Thanks

The forum is mostly user-to-user discussion and support. We can discuss it here but those who make the decisions most likely don't see what is being discussed here. The official channels involve either sending feedback through the in-app Send Feedback feature or to have the feedback sent up through leadership channels (bishop to stake president to area coordinating council and so on).
