Hi all,
Haven’t used this app for years and can’t work out how to view friends food diaries? It’s greyed out and I am unable to click on it on their profiles.
Thanks

    If they're greyed out, perhaps they are no longer members

    They are new friends I have just accepted on here. I have just sent you a request to see if I can see yours then? Would love to see others daily diaries for food inspiration

    they might not have their diary available for viewing. I can only see about half of my friends

    There are certain things people can keep private and not have on view for others to see.

    Hey Eliza!
    Not everyone has their diaries open to friends. Privacy reasons for some.
    I keep mine open to help others by example - but to each their own!

    Guess people don't want to admit their cheat meals :wink:

    It's also not a default setting so they may just not know that their diary is not visible

    So other than the food diary setting is there any other setting they need to change to make their food diary visible? My daughter and I are friend's on MFP and we both have our diaries set to let "friends" view but neither of us can see the other's diary? The MFP help says there should be a "view diary" link at the bottom of their profile once they complete their entry but neither of us see anything like that on either of our profiles. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    thx

    If you're using the app rather than the website it's slightly different, you tap on the person's profile and then you'll have a book icon and an envelope icon just below their name, last login and weight lost. The book icon will take you into their diary.

    You are making assumptions. For some of us what we eat, or not, is our business and don't care to make it public

    Or...it could be that other people are different from you and do better being accountable to themselves and no one else.

    How do I set it on my friends myfitnesspal so, I can see her diary? She wants me to fix it for her.
