iOS: Community Tab

Engage With Friends' Bible Activity

The Community tab displays recent activity in the Bible App from you and your Friends. Activity from your Friends—such as starting a Plan, highlighting a Bible passage, creating a Verse Image, etc.—displays on individual cards in your feed. You can engage with these cards by liking your Friends’ activity, encouraging them with comments, and more.
