Sharing & Access

Adding members

To share photos with someone, add them to a circle:

1. Open the circle on the Circles page.
2. Tap Invite to generate an invite link, or search by email if they already have an account.
3. Once they join, they can see faces shared with that circle.

Group admins

You can promote other circle members to Admin. Admins can:

• Add and remove members.
• Rename the circle.
• Transfer ownership to another admin.

Automatic key rotation

When someone joins or leaves a circle, BrightBlur silently rotates the encryption keys for that group (see Key rotation for the manual equivalent). This ensures:

• Removed members lose access to future photos immediately. They cannot decrypt anything uploaded after their removal.
• New members receive access to future photos (and historical ones, re-wrapped by the admin who added them).

You don’t need to think about key management — it happens automatically behind the scenes.
