Social features explained

Many people take part in sport and physical activity because it's a great way to connect with other people, form friendships and share experiences. This is why we have introduced social functionality on miMove. 

Safety first
Before explaining how things work, we would like to emphasise that your safety is something we take very seriously. To ensure that the social functions are never used to cause harm or distress, we have built in a number of controls. You can only connect with students in your school.

If you click on the settings icon, you can select what you want other students to see. You can also decide if you wish to be known by a pseudonym (a made-up name) and if you wish to hide the name of the activities you take part in etc.

Please note, you will only see others as you wish to be seen, for example, if you do not wish to share your profile picture, you will not see anyone else's picture. 

If you prefer to remain entirely invisible, you can answer NO to the first question - 'Do you wish to be discoverable'. If you select this option, you will not benefit from being connected or be able to receive any social points (see below).

miFriends

When you click on the social icon, you will see the greyed out profiles of other students in your school. If you click on the ADD button, they will be added to your group of friends and they will appear in your miFriends list. 

When you click the Activity Feed, you will see the most recent activities of your friends. You can send them an emoji to say well done for their effort or celebrate their accomplishment. Every time someone likes a post the number by the 'thumbs up' icon goes up.

Tagging

We have introduced a new question that appears when you post an activity. You are now asked 'who' you did the activity with. If you enter the names of your miFriends, they will receive a notification which they can confirm. If you not wish to receive notifications, you can use the mute function.

You will see a menu bar with options. In Tagged you will see all the times you have been tagged by a friend. When someone tags you, you will have two options: Add to my activity or Already recorded. If you have not recorded the activity yet in miMove, click 'Add to my activity' and it will be done for you. You can then add a reflection. If you have already recorded the activity, choose 'Already recorded'. 

Social points (SPs) 

You can collect SPs by using the social functions

• Add a miFriend = 1 SP
• Send an emoji/ celebrate a post = 1 SP
• Tagging = 5 miPoints for the first person, then 1 miPoint for other people - with a maximum of 10 miPoints. You can only tag miFriends
• Respond to being tagged = 1 point for choosing either option (plus the reflection and activity points gained from recording the activity)
