Send something to a few people

Updated Nov 11, 2026

There is no separate way to ask. In the Share sheet, type a name or a group under To, and write what you want to say or ask in your words. Only those people see it. It goes to the top of their feed under Requests, with a notification.

When you pick people, the sheet tells you who can read the site, for example “Riley can read this site”. That helps on a paywalled page: send it to someone who subscribes.

Reply or Done

On their side, the request has Reply and Done. Replying answers you. Done takes it off their Requests row without a reply. It stays in their feed, and you are not told.

Waiting on

What you sent people stays in Waiting on, beside your feed, until each of them has replied. Sent to one person, it says whether they have Opened it yet. Sent to more, it counts how many replied.

Closing replies

You can close any post of yours to replies from its menu, whoever it went to. You can leave a closing note saying where you landed, and Draft a wrap-up reads the replies and drafts one for you to edit. Drafting uses AI. A closed post stays readable, and you can reopen it.
