Circles App Wants
Posted: Sun May 05, 2024 12:08 pm
We are looking at the Circles APP again for the leadership in our Stake. I believe The Circles App could be a great benefit for leaders if it could have some options.
I will probably be told this is not something that will be coming or needed, but here it goes.
We use a lot of text messaging for disseminating information to a group. The problem that you face with using IOS is you are limited to the number of persons that can be on a text stream. I believe the number is 20. When you are trying to send information to ten ward's bishoprics you over run the number 20 pretty quickly.
In our Youth Council we use "Group Me" to over come this limitation. So now I have two apps to cover, regular texting and now "Group Me". Circles is being looked at again but I see a lot of limitations. This might be from my limited knowledge of how to use it.
Can we build our own Circles? Like Bishoprics or make one for our Youth Council? If not will we be able to in the future.
This is our main question. We are getting push back because the leaders don't want to add another app to look at. Hoping we can move everyone to circles and get off the other servers.
Thanks
