Share a chat, or bring your friends into it
Two ways to bring people into a chat. Show it with a link, or invite friends in to keep talking with you.
You spent an evening with Dopppel planning a camping trip. Now your friends want to see it. Copying it bit by bit into a group text is no fun, and half of it gets lost.
Now there are two better ways. Share a link, and anyone can read the chat. Or tap "Add a friend". Your friends join you in a new Gäng with a copy of the chat, so you can keep planning together.
A link anyone can read
Open a chat and tap "Share chat" at the top. Tap Copy, and paste the link anywhere. The person who opens it does not need an account, and does not need Dopppel. They just read.
What they see is a copy, frozen at the moment you made the link. Keep talking in your chat, and they will not see any of it. Want them to see the newer messages too? Tap "Update to latest".
A reader can also tap "Continue this chat" to get their own copy and keep going. That copy is theirs. You do not see what they say next, and they do not see what you say next.
Your name stays off the link
A shared chat does not carry your name. It does not carry anything Dopppel remembers about you either.
You stay in charge of every link. Tap "Delete link" and it stops working for everyone. Every link you ever made is listed in Settings, so you can go back and turn off an old one.
From your chat to a Gäng in one tap
Sometimes reading is not enough. You want your friends in the room. Under every answer in your own chat there is an "Add a friend" button. Pick one friend or a few. A new Gäng opens with you, them, and a copy of the chat.
Your first chat stays yours and does not change. In the new Gäng, Dopppel can read what you already said. But it will not use your memory, your reminders or your calendar there. A Gäng is a shared room, so your private things stay in your own chats.
A few chats cannot be copied, like a chat with nothing in it yet. Those show a "Share chat" button instead.
Pick the way that fits
A link is read-only and one way. It is best for showing someone what you found. A Gäng is a live group chat where everyone talks and Dopppel is in the room. It is best when you want to decide things together.
- To show a chat: tap "Share chat" at the top, then Copy, and paste the link.
- To keep going together: tap "Add a friend" under an answer and pick your friends.
- To stop sharing: tap "Delete link", or turn off old links in Settings.
Reading a shared link is free and needs no account. Starting a Gäng needs a free account, so sign in first.
