Even when you love sharing your life online, not everything belongs in the same space. Some moments are for everyone, others are just for your close friends, and a few are for specific groups who share a connection, memory, or inside joke.

Circles on ineedthis make that possible, giving you the power to choose exactly who sees what you share.

What Are Circles?

Circles are private spaces where you can share posts, photos, videos, and Pings with specific groups of people. Each Circle has its own feed, visible only to the members you’ve added.

You might have one Circle for your immediate family, another for a group of old college friends, and a third just for the people you travel with. Each Circle functions as its own small, self-contained social space — perfect for moments meant to stay within that group.

You can navigate between Circles or view all your Circle posts together in one feed. It’s social connection organized by context — not by chance.

Why We Built Them

Social platforms often assume that everything you post should reach everyone you know. But in real life, we naturally share different parts of ourselves with different groups.

Circles bring that reality online. They’re built to help you:

•   Share specific content with the exact people it’s meant for 
•   Keep personal updates separate from casual conversations 
•   Create private spaces around events, activities, or shared interests 
•   Maintain connection without oversharing

It’s not about excluding people — it’s about creating the right spaces for every kind of connection.

How It Works

When you create a post on ineedthis, you choose who can see it:

•   Public: Anyone on the platform can view your post 
•   Followers: Shared with all your connections 
•   Circles: Shared only with specific Circles you select 
•   Private: Visible only to you

Once you’ve created Circles, you can post directly inside them — just like sending a message to a group chat, but with the flexibility and design of a full social feed.

Each Circle becomes a focused space for conversation and sharing — whether it’s planning a trip, swapping photos from a recent event, or keeping a running thread of favorite memes among friends.

Why It Matters

Our lives aren’t one-size-fits-all, and our social feeds shouldn’t be either. Circles help you express yourself naturally — without worrying about who’s watching.

They encourage authentic connection by letting you post freely within trusted groups, and healthy boundaries by keeping your broader feed clean and intentional.

In other words, Circles make sharing online feel more like how connection works in the real world: fluid, situational, and personal.

Circles are part of our broader mission at ineedthis: to help you shape your digital world with intention.

Because when you get to decide who sees what, sharing becomes something more meaningful: honest, comfortable, and truly your own.
