Join a circle
After this page you will have gone from receiving an invite link to sending your first message in a circle.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- A phone with Mixin Messenger installed and an account created.
- A circle invite link, usually shared in a group chat or by a friend.
- For paid circles: an accepted asset (such as USDT) in your Mixin wallet.
- Tap the invite link on your phone — Mixin Messenger opens the circle’s bot profile automatically.
- Tap Hello on the bot’s profile page (a first “Hi” is sent automatically) to enter the circle conversation.
- Browse posts, replays, and announcements from the bot profile or the circle home — public content is free to read.
- Locked content means a membership is required: tap the unlock hint, pick a plan, and confirm the payment.
- Membership activates within seconds; check the Mine tab to confirm.
- Send your first message in the circle chat.
What happens next
Section titled “What happens next”- The circle reminds you before membership expires; some circles offer a renewal discount — the renewal page shows the exact price.
- You can check your membership status and transfer records any time in the Mine tab.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”- Membership not active after paying — wait a few seconds and refresh; if it still isn’t, look up the payment with its transfer reference on the order page, or contact the circle owner.
- “Please upgrade your Mixin Messenger” — receiving red packets, tips, or prizes needs a recent app version; update from the app store.
- Invite link doesn’t open — make sure Mixin Messenger is installed; if not, install it first.
