Circles are now Friends! and a few things you asked for: • Shield now needs a free account. It's what keeps your goals and your friends when you change phones, and it takes about twenty seconds. • If you were in a circle, you already have those people as friends. Nothing to do, they're added as your friends. • Friends: pick a handle, search for people, and see each other's day. You both have to agree before either of you sees anything. • Streaks. How many days in a row you've finished everything you set. See your friend's too, help keep them on track. • Tap anyone to see their profile: who you both know, and how they're doing. • Night: set a bedtime and a wind-down hour, and your apps shut themselves. Free, for everyone. • Reminders read better and no longer arrive at the same minute every day.
