A lagoon is a Sea Pals group chat for up to 6 friends in different countries. Its island shows everyone’s local time and weather, with a Doori you raise together. You join after accepting a friend’s invitation.
Only a friend can invite you to a lagoon, and you decide whether to join. Members and invitations waiting for a yes share the 6-person limit. People in the group who are not already friends must pass the app’s stranger age and safety checks.
The lagoon’s island shows everyone’s otter and local time, with their weather. In an international group chat app, seeing those differences helps you choose when to write.
When Translate appears in a message’s menu, choose it to read the message in your language. Translation happens on your phone.
You can leave a lagoon at any time. Memories you kept from your time there stay in your Book.
Once friends join, the lagoon has its own Doori, a hermit crab with a little house. Its shell grows with time and the sea glass earned as members write back to one another. Boop it from the Group widget on iPhone; when the conversation rests, Doori naps.
