Health and well-being are easier to manage with a support system. With Oura Circles, members can share high-level data (Readiness, Sleep, and Activity Scores) with friends and family who are also Oura members. You can create different circles, customize the data you share in each one, and react to other circle members' data.
Active members and Gen2 users can share their scores and see and react to other members' scores.

What Are Oura Circles?
With Oura Circles, members can create private groups to share high-level data (Readiness, Sleep, and Activity Scores) from the past two weeks. You can be a member in up to 10 circles, and each circle can have a maximum of 20 members. You can change the data you share at any time, share different data in each circle you're in, and react in-app to other circle members' data with a set of custom emojis.
How to Use Oura Circles
Access Circles
You can access Oura Circles directly from the Today tab or the menu in the upper-left corner of the Oura App's home screen.
Create a Circle
You can create a new circle by giving it a name, deciding which scores you want to share, and then inviting friends and family who are also Oura members to your newly created circle. Circle names can be a maximum of 20 characters with no emojis.
Decide if you want to share your Readiness, Sleep, and Activity Scores and whether you want that data to be your daily scores or weekly averages.
You can also create or edit circles anytime by clicking on the Settings icon in the upper-right corner of the Circles screen.
Invite a Member to a Circle
To invite friends and family to your circle, you can generate a one-time link and send it to them via email, text message, etc. These links are single-use (you will have to generate a new link for each person you want to invite), and the link is valid for seven days. Once the link has expired, you will have to generate and resend a new link. You can have a maximum of 20 people in each circle.
Join a Circle
To join a circle, you must receive an invite link from someone in the circle. Before you join the circle, you'll be able to see the name of the circle, the number of people in the circle, and who is already in the circle. You can join up to 10 circles and leave any circle anytime. Only Oura members can join circles.
If you are in multiple circles, you'll see them all listed in order based on the most number of reactions.
Edit a Circle
You can edit your circles through the Settings menu on the top right of the circle. You can rename the circle, change your nickname, see who is in the circle, or remove members. You will see a notification in your circles screen if you are removed from a circle.
Use Reactions
You can use pre-set emojis to react to the data in any member of your circle. The reactions will last 24 hours, and you can see who reacted to you at the bottom of the Circle screen. Currently, there is no way to communicate with members in your circle through any other way in the Oura App.
View Past Data
The graph for any member of a circle contains data for a two-week range. Press and hold on a graph, then drag sideways to view a member's scores for the previous days.
Things to Keep in Mind
- You can only share your three main scores in your circles, but we plan on expanding to other data in the future.
- If a member doesn't sync their ring, they will not be able to see their scores for the days they don't sync, and other members in the circle will not be able to see their scores.
- If you're removed from or leave a circle, your open invites automatically expire
