# Joining a Circle

Accept an invite and join a friend's Wine Circle.

## Accepting an invite

When someone shares a Wine Circle invite link with you, tap it. Pablo opens automatically and shows the join screen, which displays:

* The inviter's avatar and your avatar side by side
* The Circle's current member count (e.g. "2 / 8 members")
* A short description of the Circle

Tap **Join Wine Circle** to accept.

{% hint style="info" %}
Invite links can expire or have a maximum number of uses. If you see an error when tapping a link, ask the Circle creator to send a new one.
{% endhint %}

## After joining

Once you've joined, you land on the Circle view. If there are at least 2 members, your compatibility score is calculated and displayed immediately. If you're the first to join after the creator, the score will appear as soon as the second member joins — it updates in real time.

From the Circle view you can:

* See all members and their avatars
* Tap a member to view their public profile (if they've made it visible)
* Wait for the creator to start a group scan
