Navigating the app
Within the app, there are five tabs that can be found across the bottom of the interface.
You can click each of these icons to access the following:
Home: Your welcome screen
Newsfeed: Your feed consisting of posts from King's with key news, information and updates.
Notifications: View notifications for posts published by the King's account. Select the notification to be taken directly to the post. You can also delete all notifications using the trash can icon. To keep you in control, you can choose to mute push notifications during weekends or between set times on weekdays. A notification will still show in the app, but you will not receive the push notification to your mobile device. Push notifications will display on your lock screen and as a banner on your device screen.
Messages: You may on rare occasions receive a message from staff admin if you have reported content in the app.
Explore: The Explore tab is your digital notice board providing information at a glance on Groups, What’s On, Benefits, and Things to do.

There are two different types of groups which are open and closed groups. Anyone can join an open group but members of a closed group are added by the group admin.
Using the Report function
You can report a page or newsfeed post if you believe it is unappropriated or offensive in any way.
1. Choose the connection, post, or comment, go to the sub menu link ⋮ and then select Report.
2. Edit the information in the new window, for example to include further information about why you are reporting the post, then select Report to send the message to administrators.
Once sent, a new thread is created in Messages, and administrators should respond to the message to inform you of any actions or steps taken.
