On 2 Shabd, your social circles are split into two groups—Inner and Outer. Just like in real life, where you have an inner circle of close friends and an outer circle of acquaintances, 2 Shabd offers a similar structure. You also have a Public mode for each review, switching to this mode will make the review visible to everyone.

Outer Circle

This circle is for people you’re not as close to. They could be someone you met in a tournament yesterday, a recent game match, or on online platforms.

Review Visibility Outer circle members see only a limited number of your approved reviews.

Use-case Imagine you meet someone in a gaming match and add them to your Outer Circle. If you receive reviews from the gaming community that you would like to share with them—without putting them on public display—your Outer Circle is the ideal solution. To set this visibility, simply click on any review and select Circles. This makes the review visible exclusively to your Inner and Outer Circle members while keeping it hidden from the public.

Inner Circle

This is where you add people who are very close to you—your inner circle.

Visibility Inner circle members see all of your approved reviews.

Use-case Once you have built trust with an Outer circle user after exchanging a few reviews, you can add them here to exchange all reviews from your profile.

Conclusion

Both Inner and Outer circles serve different purposes, so choose how to use them based on what you need.
