Share, repost and save posts

Share a post

Click the paper plane under the post. The Share window opens.

Send it to people you chat with

1. 1Under Recent chats you see up to 12 people you have chatted with recently.
2. 2Tap one or more people. A tick marks each person you pick. Tap again to unpick.
3. 3Click Send to 1 person (or Send to 3 people, and so on).

The post arrives in each chat as a card with its picture and words, which the other person can tap to open. If you have not chatted with anyone yet, this part is not shown. See Share posts in chat.

Share it outside Sikhami

Under Share to there are three buttons:

• WhatsApp opens WhatsApp with the post's link, ready to send.
• Copy link copies the post's link so you can paste it anywhere. You see "Link copied".
• More opens your phone's or computer's own share menu, with your other apps. If your browser has no share menu, the link is copied instead.

You can also copy a post's link from its ⋯ menu: choose Copy link.

Who can open a shared link

• On a phone with the Sikhami Android app, the link opens the post in the app. See The Android app.
• Otherwise it opens the post on the website. Anyone who is not logged in is asked to log in first, and then the post opens.
• If the post has been deleted, the page says "This post is not available".

Save or share one photo or video

1. 1Click a photo in a post to open it full screen. In a post with several photos and videos, use the arrows (or the left and right arrow keys) to move between them.
2. 2Click the download button (Save picture or Save video) to save the file to your device.
3. 3Click Share to send the file with your device's share menu. If your browser cannot share files, the file is saved instead, and you see a message that says so.
4. 4Click the cross, press Escape, or click the dark background to close.

Only save and share other people's photos and videos in ways they would be happy with. See Community guidelines.

Repost a post

A repost shares someone's post again on your own profile, with your own words above it if you want.

1. 1Click the two arrows under the post. The Repost window opens and shows a short preview of the post.
2. 2Type your thoughts in the box ("Add your thoughts (optional)"). You can write up to 500 characters, or leave it empty.
3. 3Click Repost. You see "Reposted to your profile" and Sikhami opens your profile.

How a repost looks and where it appears

• A repost shows your words, a Repost label, and the original post in a box. Clicking the box opens the original post.
• Reposts appear on the Posts tab of your profile. They do not appear on Home.
• The number beside the two arrows on the original post shows how many times it has been reposted.
• You cannot repost a repost. The repost button is not shown on reposts. Open the original post and repost that instead.
• If the original post is deleted later, your repost shows "The original post is no longer available."
• To remove your repost, open its ⋯ menu and choose Delete post. See Archive and delete posts.

Save a post

• Click the bookmark at the far right of the buttons under a post. It fills in and you see "Saved".
• To remove it from your saved posts, click the bookmark again.
• Find all your saved posts on the Saved page. Open More (on a phone, the ⋯ on your own profile) and choose Saved. See Saved and liked posts.
• The person who made the post is not told that you saved it. In their post insights they see only how many people saved it, not who.
