The My Posts sub-tab lists posts you published and gives you an inline composer at the top. This article covers opening My Posts, using the inline editor, browsing your list, and editing or deleting your own posts—not the Community overview, Explore feed, or compose sheet.
Open My Posts
01
Community
Open Community from the bottom tab bar. If this is your first visit, accept Community rules before the feed loads—see the Community tab overview.
02
My Posts
Tap My Posts in the sub-tab row between Explore and Saved. The inline composer sits at the top of this feed—there is no separate compose sheet entry on this sub-tab.
03
My Posts
When the inline composer is collapsed, your published posts appear below it, sorted newest first.
Inline composer at the top
01
Have something to share?
Tap the inline editor at the top of My Posts. Cancel and Post appear in a footer row while the composer is expanded; your published list hides until you collapse the editor.
02
Cancel
Tap Cancel to collapse the composer when you have no draft changes. With unsaved text, photos, or an Anonymous toggle change, a Discard Changes? alert offers Keep Editing or Discard Changes.
03
Post
After you tap Post and publishing completes, the composer collapses and your new post appears at the top of the list. Writing, photos, and anonymous posting follow the same rules as the compose sheet—see Creating a post.
04
Explore
Switching to Explore or Saved collapses the inline composer. Return to My Posts to resume your list or start another post.
Browse your published posts
01
My Posts
Scroll the list when the inline composer is collapsed. Each card shows your post the same way other members see it in feeds—including avatar, display name or Anonymous User, timestamp, body text, and optional images.
02
My Posts
Pull down on the feed to refresh your posts. A refresh runs for the active sub-tab.
03
My Posts
When you reach your last visible card, the app loads the next page automatically if more of your posts exist. A spinner appears at the bottom while pages load.
04
You've reached the end!
When pagination ends, a footer reads You've reached the end! On My Posts, the subtitle reads You've seen all your posts.
Edit your post
01
Edit
On one of your posts, tap the overflow menu (⋯) in the header row and choose Edit. The Edit Post sheet opens with Cancel on the left, Edit Post centered, and Save on the right.
02
Have something to share?
Update the post text in the editor. The same 1–1,000 character rules apply as when you first published—see Creating a post for counter colors and validation.
03
Add Image
Add or remove photos from the footer row. You can attach up to four images per post.
04
Anonymous
Use the Anonymous toggle in the header row to change whether the post shows as Anonymous User in feeds. Your display name comes from Community profile settings.
05
Save
Save enables when your edits are valid. Community Guidelines acceptance and the publish-time keyword check use the same steps as creating a post—see Creating a post and Community rules.
06
Discard Changes?
Tap Cancel with unsaved edits to see Keep Editing or Discard Changes. Swipe-to-dismiss is blocked while unsaved changes exist.
Delete your post
01
Delete Post
On your post in the feed, open the overflow menu (⋯) and choose Delete Post. A confirmation alert titled Delete Post asks whether you are sure—tap Delete to remove the post or Cancel to keep it.
02
Delete Post
From the Edit Post sheet, tap the delete control in the footer row to open the same Delete Post confirmation.
03
Delete
After you confirm, the post disappears from My Posts and from public feeds other members browse. This cannot be undone.
🔒Published posts live in the CloudKit Public Database so other members can read them. Edits sync publicly; deleting a post removes it permanently from Community feeds—it does not restore reactions or comments other members left before deletion.
When you have no posts yet
01
No posts yet
When you have not published any posts and the inline composer is collapsed, an empty state below the composer reads No posts yet with the subtitle Share your first post to connect with the community.
02
Have something to share?
Tap the inline composer at the top to expand it and write your first post—the empty-state area does not replace the composer. See Creating a post for photos, anonymous posting, and publish gates.
Shared post-card controls—likes, comments, and bookmarks—work the same on your posts as on Explore; see the Community tab overview and Exploring posts. Community profile settings explain how your display name and anonymous default appear when you publish from My Posts.
