How to add my contacts to ēllu?

Once you’ve completed registration, the app will ask for permission to access your phone’s contacts. It’s important to grant this permission so that ēllu can identify which people in your address book also use the app.

After granting permission, ēllu will scan your contact list and automatically display those who are already registered on the platform.

⚠️ If you notice that you don’t see all your contacts, even though you know they also use ēllu, this may be due to your iOS 18 permission settings.

You can find more details about this in this article.

How do I add contacts to a Circle?

When you are creating a Circle in Maps, you will see a screen where you can add participants.

You can also do this from an existing Circle: enter the Circle and tap the settings gear icon ⚙️. There you will find the option Add members, which will take you to the same screen.

At this step, you can:

  • Select contacts directly from your ēllu contact list

  • Copy an invitation link to share it outside the app

  • Share the link directly through other applications

  • Copy the circle’s invitation code

With this code, other people can join the Circle by entering it manually using the Join a Circle option within Maps.


Where can I see my contacts

In the upper right part of the screen you will see an icon of an agenda📔. By clicking on it you will be able to see your entire list of contacts and also to whom you have given permission to send you a Pager.
