Friends

The Friends feature provides a powerful way for members of the Society of Art to build closer connections within the community. Alongside user groups, it introduces an additional layer of privacy and interaction, allowing members to share content more selectively and meaningfully.

Members can send and receive friend requests directly from profile pages and manage their connections through the Friends tab. Friend requests appear as notification cards, where recipients can accept or delete them. Once a request is accepted, the sender receives a notification, keeping both parties informed. Users can also view all sent and received requests, cancel pending requests, or remove connections at any time. Batch selection is supported to make managing larger friend lists simple and efficient.

Being connected as friends enables members to share blog posts and other content specifically with their friends, offering greater control over visibility and engagement. Users can also initiate private conversations with any of their friends directly from the friends list, helping to encourage collaboration and communication.

This feature is designed to support trusted connections, personalised sharing, and a more connected experience across the Society of Art community.
