Your Profile

Grūps App has two separate profile layers — your account-wide App Profile, and the member profile you fill in for each group.

Two Types of Profile

Your App Profile

Access your App Profile from the main app navigation — tap your avatar or name, then My Profile (or go to Account → Profile).

Your App Profile contains information that belongs to you across all groups — it's your Grūps App identity.

App Profile Fields

Basic information

• Profile Photo — circular avatar shown throughout the app
• First Name and Last Name (required)
• Display Name (required) — the name other members see in chat, notifications, and across all groups
• Date of Birth (required) — used for age verification and access
• Gender — Male, Female, or Prefer not to say
• Timezone — affects how times are displayed to you across the app
• Bio — up to 150 characters, shown on your profile

Contact

• Email — read-only. Your primary email cannot be edited here; change it in Account Settings → Security. Shows a Verified or Unverified badge. If unverified, a Resend Verification link appears.
• Recovery Email — an alternate email used for account recovery
• Phone Number — used for SMS notifications and 2FA. Stored encrypted. Shows Verified/Unverified badge.
• Recovery Phone — an alternate phone number for account recovery
• Postal Address — street, city, state/province, postal code, country

Social media

Optionally link your accounts on: Twitter/X, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Spotify, LinkedIn, Discord, Reddit.

Tap Save Changes at the bottom of the page. Changes apply immediately across all your groups.

Subscription Tier

Your current plan is shown in its own section of the App Profile page, with a badge displaying your plan name.

From here you can:

• My Limits — jump directly to the limits page to see what's included in your current plan
• Manage Subscription — go to the Plans page to upgrade, downgrade, or manage billing

See Subscription Plans for a full breakdown of what each tier includes.

Family & Relationships

The Family & Relationships section lets you link your Grūps App account to other members — for example, linking a parent account to a child account within the same group.

To add a family member:

1. Scroll to Family & Relationships on your App Profile.
2. Tap Add Family Member.
3. Search by name or email and select the member.
4. Choose the relationship type (e.g., Parent, Child, Spouse).

Linked family members appear in your profile with their name, avatar, and relationship label. Tap the remove button next to any entry to unlink them.

Emergency Contacts

You can store up to two emergency contacts on your App Profile. These are visible to group admins when they view your member profile — for example, a sports club admin may need to contact a family member in an emergency.

For each contact you can provide:

• Full name
• Relationship to you (e.g., Spouse, Parent, Sibling)
• Phone number
• Email address

Tap Save Changes in the Emergency Contacts section to save. These fields are optional — leave them blank if you prefer not to provide this information.

Data & Security

The Data & Security section at the bottom of your App Profile page provides quick links to related settings:

• Privacy Policy — opens the Grūps App privacy policy
• Account Settings — links directly to security settings (password, 2FA, passkeys)
• Personal Data & Deletion — links to the data export and account deletion page

Your Group Profile

Each group has its own member profile, separate from your App Profile. Group profiles are configured by the group admin — the fields you see depend on what that admin has enabled or created.

To edit your group profile:

1. Open the group and go to Members.
2. Tap your own name to open your profile.
3. Tap the pencil icon in the header.
4. Fill in the fields and tap Save Changes.

Fields are organized into collapsible categories (Basic, Contact, Personal, Professional, etc.) depending on what the admin has configured. Required fields are marked — the group may prompt you to complete them if your profile is incomplete.

Copying from App Profile

When editing your group profile, a Copy from App Profile button at the top fills in matching fields from your App Profile. For example, if your App Profile has your phone number and the group profile has a phone field, tapping this button copies the value across.

Fields that the system automatically keeps in sync are skipped (they update on their own). Only fields with matching names are copied — any group-specific custom fields are left unchanged.

Leaving a Group

If you want to leave a group, open your group profile and scroll to the bottom. Tap Leave Group.

A confirmation dialog appears. You can optionally enter a reason. On confirming:

• You are immediately removed from the group
• Group admins are notified by email
• You are redirected to your groups list
• To rejoin, you would need a new invitation from a group admin
