How to share a match with a friend

Add a friend on GGAB, then share a tracked match with them so they get the stats from their side of the court.

Updated

If you tracked a match you played with or against a friend, you can share it with them. Once they accept, the match shows up in their insights, analyzed from their side. First you add each other as friends, then you share the match.

Before you startLink to this section

  • You can only share a match that is finalized.
  • You can only share with someone who has accepted your friend request.
  • You choose which player in the match your friend was. Each friend goes on one player, and each player gets one friend.

  • App: open the menu, tap Settings, and find it under About.

What your friend seesLink to this section

  1. They get a notification saying a match was shared with them.
  2. On their Friends page, the match is listed under Shared with you. They press Accept to add it, or Decline. In the app they can also Report a share they didn't expect.
  3. Once they accept, the match appears in their Match Breakdown under Shared with you, analyzed as the player you picked for them. It also counts toward their Trends.

Nothing reaches their insights until they accept. When they do, you get a notification saying so. To choose which of these notifications you get, see How to choose your notifications.

Stop sharingLink to this section

  • Unshare one match: open the share screen for the match the same way you shared it, and press Unshare next to the player. In the app, confirm with Unshare. The match leaves your friend's insights.
  • After your friend accepts, only you can unshare it. They can't remove it on their own, but unfriending you removes it.
  • Unfriend: this stops every match shared between you two, in both directions. On the web, press Unfriend next to them on Friends. In the app, tap the cross next to their name, then Remove.
  • Block: in the app, the three-dot menu next to a player has Block player. Blocking also stops shared matches.
  • If a friend declined, press Unshare to clear that player, then share again.
