02 / THE APP TOUR
The feed is just the start.
A post gets the conversation going. Give it a home in Groups, keep it moving in Chat, and turn it into a weekly ritual with CREAM.
Here’s how a local fitness creator could host a seven-day walk check-in on TRIBE.
On iPhone · TRIBE 2.0 preview The core tour was captured on a physical iPhone running build 68. The public US iPhone release is 1.4. See release details below for what you can use today.
Open any image to see the full capture in a new tab.
01 / Start with a post
Ask followers when they like to walk. Use a poll or a photo to get people talking, then share the result in your first check-in.
02 / Give it a home
Invite members to a group and pin your welcome post so people know where to check in. Set a day for the recap.
03 / Keep talking
Find group chats and priority conversations in one inbox. Send your co-host a voice note and agree on who will reply to members.
04 / Build a ritual
Open My Creams, choose a walking goal and log your progress. Invite members to share a simple check-in before the Sunday recap.
PROFILES / PRIVACY
No more alt accounts.
One account. Two sides. Give your everyday and After Dark profiles their own look, bio and audience.
Everyday · SFW
Choose the photo, name and bio you want people to see on your safe-for-work side. Preview the profile as a visitor before you share it.
After Dark · NSFW
Give your adults-only side a different identity. When you require approval, you decide whose request to accept before they can open that side.
A takedown shouldn’t leave you guessing.
Both sides follow TRIBE’s rules. If a profile restriction or content removal looks wrong, check the moderation notice for the reason and use its appeal option when available to ask for a review.
