How private group requests work

These screenshots use sample content in a preview version of Idle. Your app may look different. Select an image to see the full screen.

Request access when available

1. Open Groups from the Home sidebar, find the private group and tap Request.
2. Select a vehicle from your garage. Add one in My Garage first if needed.
3. Under Vehicle photo, use the existing garage photo or tap Add or Change to choose another.
4. Under Short verification, write why you want to join, using at least eight characters.
5. Tap Send request. It stays pending until a group owner or admin accepts or declines it.

Check a pending request

Open Groups from the Home sidebar, then choose Requests. Scroll to Requests pending to review a request’s current status.

A pending request is still waiting for a group owner or admin to review it.

For group owners and admins

For group owners and admins, Requests to review can show the requester, vehicle and note entered under Short verification. Review that context alongside your group’s rules before choosing Accept or Decline.

Find a group after joining

After accepting an invitation, look for Joined on the group page and find the group under Yours. Return to Requests to check anything still waiting on an admin.

A request marked Pending or Waiting on admins still needs a group admin to review it.

What to expect

Private group content and group-only meets should be available only after access is accepted. Admins may approve or decline requests based on the group's rules.
