How do I not automatically log text message content for friends or family?

One of the most popular features of Cloze is the ability to automatically log text messages. Your call history and messages are private to you. No one else can see any of your calls or messages unless you choose to share them. 

If you'd prefer not to store messages from friends or family in Cloze you can adjust your settings. 

Once this change is made, Cloze will not store messages for contacts that are organized with a Personal Segment.

All contacts start without a Segment and remain private (if you are on a team). 

  1. Private - The lock icon indicates the contact has not been shared.
  2. No Segment - This means a segment has not yet been set. Tap on No Segment to select a Segment. 

Tap on the No Segment menu to set a segment.

  1. Tap on No Segment.
  2. Select a Personal Segment.

After a personal segment is set:

  1. The lock icon indicates this contact is private. 
  2. Friend segment set. 

In the above example, the contact is classified as a Friend. Stages are hidden for Personal Segments because tracking your progress for family and friends is unnecessary.
