How to share a travel itinerary without making it public
Every trip has one of four visibility levels, and you can change it at any time. New trips start at only me. To share with a specific group without publishing, use specific people and add them by username.
What are the four visibility levels?#
- Public — anyone can open it, including people who are not signed in. It can appear in the feed and be found by search engines through its share link.
- Followers — everyone who follows you. If your account is private, that means only followers you have accepted.
- Specific people — only the usernames you add. Nobody else, however they got the link.
- Only me — nobody but you and anyone you have made an editor.
What does someone without access see?#
- On the web — a trip shared with followers or specific people shows a page that says it is private, without its title, cover photo or owner. A trip set to only me, a deleted trip, or a link that leads nowhere shows a page that says the trip is not available, so the link does not even reveal that the trip exists.
- In the app — a trip they may not open says they can't open it; a deleted trip or a broken link says it is not available. Neither says why.
In the app, a profile you have been blocked by looks like one that does not exist.
Can I change the visibility later?#
Yes, at any time, in both directions. Changing to a narrower level takes effect immediately — anyone who no longer qualifies stops being able to open it.
Only the trip's owner can change visibility. Someone you have invited to edit can change the content, but not who sees it.
What shows up when I paste the link somewhere?#
A public trip generates a preview card with its cover image, title, duration, cost and rating.
A trip that is not public generates only a plain card that says it is a private trip on Ntripi — no title, cover photo or owner. Anything more would show the trip to everyone in the chat, including people who cannot open it.
