Tap Accept or Accept invite to join. Tap No or No thanks to turn it down.
After you accept
You're in straight away, and you can read and write in its groups. You don't wait for approval, because the invitation came from the circle's side.
In an apartment circle, you'll be asked for your door or flat number so your home can vote in polls. See Join questions and your door number. If the circle has rules, you'll be asked to agree to them before you post. See Circle rules and “I agree”.
After you decline
You see Invitation declined. You aren't added, and the person who invited you gets a notification that you declined. If you change your mind, you can find the circle and join or ask to join like anyone else. See Find and join a circle.
