  • "Circles" are a set of your friends that you choose yourself. Eg in the "circle" School you put friends from school, and then when you share the status, you select the circle "School" and only friends from that circle see the status.
  • "Extended circles": your status is seen by friends from your circles, but also by their friends.
  • Public: Everyone sees your status.
  • Individual: Enter the Email or name of a person you already have in one of the "circles" and only he sees the status.
