Status app is currently in beta stage
The Status app is currently in its beta stage. This means the application is still undergoing active development, and certain features described in this document may function differently or be unavailable within the app.

You can import a Status Community that someone shares with you using the community link, QR code or public key. Importing a community can be helpful when you want to join a private community that is not listed in the communities Discover page.

info
If you're a community Owner and want to recover your community on a different device, read Recover your Status Community.

You have three options to import a Status Community.

Use the community link, QR code or public key to find and import the community you're interested in. The community link contains the community public key at the end. For example, for the community link https://status.app/cc/G8gAA[...]dy9L9, the public key is G8gAA[...]dy9L9.
