People and "Who Is This About?"

Groupthink is built around people. Every capture (a recording, a note, a link) can be filed to the person or people it's about, so what you learn lands in your relationship with them instead of a pile of undated notes.

"Who is this about?"

After you record or write something, Groupthink asks Who is this about?. Two things happen here:

Pick the people. Search your relationships, tap the ones this capture involves, or type a name that isn't there yet to add them. You can pick more than one.

Choose the type:

• Interaction: you actually connected (a call, a meeting, an email). This is logged as contact and counts toward how recently you've been in touch. Pick the channel (Call, Email, and so on).
• Private note: a thought or observation about them, not contact. It's kept, but it doesn't count as reaching out.

Tap Save. If you're signed in, the capture is filed to each person's timeline. If you don't pick anyone, the capture still saves, just to yourself.

The People tab

The People tab is your relationship list: everyone you keep track of, with the notes, observations, and open threads you've logged on each. Open a person to see their history, their email, and what you've been meaning to follow up on. Each open thread says where it came up: a meeting, an interaction you logged, or a note on a calendar event, with the date. A thread you added yourself has no source line. A thread that an assistant you connected (Claude, Cursor and the like) added reads Added by and the app's name, such as Added by Claude Code (groupthink), then the day it was added, or Added by an agent when the app's name wasn't recorded. The name is the one the app gave itself when you connected it. When the line is gold, tap it: a meeting opens its recap, and an interaction you logged scrolls to that note in the person's history and opens it up. A grey line can't be opened from the phone. That is a note on a calendar event, or an older note that isn't on the page until you tap Show earlier.

On an iPad or the iPhone Duo's inner screen, the list stays on the left and the person you pick opens beside it. See On iPad and iPhone Duo.

Facts under Suggested and What you know have a line under them too: when you learned it, where it came from, and who said it. When the fact came from a meeting, that line is gold. Tap it to open the meeting's recap in the app. A fact that an assistant you connected (Claude, Cursor and the like) saved says so on that line: Added by and the app's name, such as Added by Claude Code (groupthink), or Added by an agent when the app's name wasn't recorded. A fact the Advisor worded and you approved says Added by the Advisor. The same words show on that fact's row in the person's Interaction history. Facts you typed yourself, facts Groupthink read out of a meeting or note, and anything saved before October 12, 2026 don't have them.

Who they are to you

Under the name at the top of a person's page, chips show each role they hold today, such as Client · at Northwind and Friend. The main role comes first and is the filled chip. A role that has ended isn't shown, and someone with no role has no chips.

Further down the page, the Roles section lists the person's other roles. One that has ended starts with Past:. To change roles, tap Edit in that section. The list shows every role, with Main on the main one.

• Add a role: tap Add role, choose the role, and type where if you like, for example at Acme. Turn on Since or Until to set a date. Tap Add.
• Change a role: tap it, change what you need, and tap Save.
• End a role: tap it, turn on Until and pick the day it ended. A role whose Until date is before today is kept as history.
• Pick the main role: tap the role and turn on Main role. Only a role that applies today can be the main one. The main role is the first chip under the name.
• Remove a role: tap it, then Remove role. Use this only for a role added by mistake. To say a role ended, set Until instead.

Tap Done to close the list.

Adding a person

You can add someone yourself, without waiting for a meeting or a capture:

• Tap the add person button at the top of the People tab.
• Or tap the Advisor button (the sparkle in the middle of the tab bar) and choose Add person.
• Or search for them. If nobody matches, tap Add followed by the name you typed, and the name is filled in for you.

Enter their name and, if you know it, their email. Adding an email lets Groupthink connect them to your meetings and messages with them. If that email already belongs to someone in your list, Groupthink opens that person rather than creating a duplicate. Their page opens as soon as they're added.

When someone was only on your calendar

Connecting a calendar brings in people from your past meetings. Groupthink doesn't count a calendar event as time you spent with someone, because an event on the calendar doesn't prove the meeting happened. So a person who came in that way has no recorded contact yet.

Instead of looking empty, they show the last past meeting with them that was on your calendar:

• In the People list, a muted line under their name: On calendar Aug 12 · Intro call.
• On their page, under their name: On your calendar Aug 12 · Intro call.

The year is added when the date isn't in the current year. The line goes away once you log a real interaction with them. It never changes how recently you've been in touch, and it doesn't affect how the list is sorted.

Phone numbers

A person can have more than one phone number. Open their page and look under Contact:

• Every number is listed, with the main one first and marked Primary.
• When Groupthink knows where a number came from, a line under it says so, for example From your iPhone's Contacts or From your Mac's Contacts.
• Tap Add phone number (or Add another number if they already have one) to type in a new one. Texts from that number are then filed under this person. If they had no number yet, the new one becomes their main one. A line under the numbers then says Added and the number, with Not right? Undo under it. Tap Undo if you typed it wrong: the number comes off this person and the line says so. The same Not right? Undo shows on an Advisor card that added a phone number, after you tap Confirm.
• Tap the ⋯ next to a number to Make primary or Remove it. Removing asks you to confirm, and new texts from that number stop being filed under this person.

A number can belong to only one person in your account. If you try to add a number that's already on someone else, the app tells you who has it and doesn't add it.

Adding phone numbers from your Contacts

To fill in numbers for people you already keep, tap the ⋯ at the top of the People tab and choose Add phone numbers from Contacts. The same option is in Settings, under On-device access. It needs a Groupthink sign-in and access to your iPhone's Contacts.

Groupthink matches cards in your Contacts to people already in your account. Nobody new is added, and nothing is saved until you confirm:

• Matched by email: one of the person's emails is on the Contacts card. Their numbers start ticked.
• Matched by name only: the names are the same and no one else shares that name. These start unticked, so tick only the ones you're sure are the same person.
• Every number on a card has its own switch, so you can add some of a person's numbers and leave the rest. If they already have a number, the ones you tick are added alongside it.
• Left as they are lists people whose Contacts number is already on someone else in Groupthink.

Tap Add numbers to save. The last screen says how many numbers were added, and gives a reason, with what to do next, for any that weren't.

Birthday

A person's birthday shows under Contact on their page, for example Birthday March 14, 1981. It's the same birthday you see on the web.

• Tap Add birthday to set one. Pick the date and tap Save.
• Tap the birthday to change it. To clear it, tap it and then Remove birthday.

A birthday needs a year. A date in the future can't be saved.

Company, job title and other details

Where a person works and what they do there show under Contact on their page, below their birthday, for example Company Tidewater Health and Job title Chief of Surgery. They are the same values you see in Details on the web, and they are filled in for you when you import people from a file that has Company and Title columns.

• Tap Add company or Add job title to set one. Type it and tap Save.
• Tap a company or job title to change it. To take it off, tap it and then Remove company or Remove job title.

An Address, How to address, Partner or Anniversary you saved on the web shows under Contact too. Tap one to change or remove it. To add one of these for the first time, use Details on the person's page on the web.

Moving a fact to the right person

Sometimes Groupthink puts something it learned on the wrong person. You can move it from the phone:

1. Open the person the fact is on now.
2. Find the fact under Suggested or What you know and tap the … at its top right.
3. Tap Move to another person and pick who it is really about. You can also type a new name to add them.
4. Groupthink asks once, naming both people. Tap Move to followed by their name.

The fact leaves this page, and a line reads Moved to with their name. Tap Open to see it on their page.

A few facts can't be moved on their own yet, and their menu says so. These are facts Groupthink wrote on two people at once from one thing someone said.

Moving a note to the right person

If a note landed on the wrong person, open the person it's on now and find it under Interaction history. Tap Move to someone else under the note and pick who it's really about. You can also type a new name to add them. The note leaves this page, and a line reads Moved to with their name. Tap Open to see their page. The same button is on the note under Conversations.

When the note is a text conversation and the sender's number was saved on the person it was on, the number moves with it, so the next texts from that number go to the person you picked. Under Moved to, a line says We'll match this number to them next time. with Not right? Undo. Tap Undo if the number belongs where it was: it comes off the person you picked and goes back where it was. The conversation stays with the person you picked. Moving it from Conversations gives you the same Undo. Conversations says when the number stays where it is.

Deleting an interaction you logged

If you logged a call, text or catch-up by mistake, open the person and find it under Interaction history. Press and hold it, tap Delete, then tap Delete again to confirm. It comes off their history, and their last-contact date and cadence go back to the contact before it.

Delete is offered only on interactions you logged yourself with Log on a person's page or from the Touch base widget, and on ones an assistant you connected logged for you. Meetings, notes and anything Groupthink added from your calendar don't have it.

An interaction that an assistant you connected (Claude, Cursor and the like) logged has a grey line under its date: Added by and the app's name, such as Added by Claude Code (groupthink), or Added by an agent when the app's name wasn't recorded. Interactions you logged yourself have no such line, and neither does anything from before October 12, 2026.

The People tab reads your relationships from your Groupthink account, which is why the app asks you to sign in first. See Sync and signing in.

How it felt, just for you

After you log an interaction, Log interaction asks How was that? with three buttons: Better, About the same and Worse. One tap is enough. Add more lets you also say who carried the conversation, what kind of time it was (analytical, supportive, playful, curious, deep or logistical), whether you'd like to see them sooner or give it more space, and a private note. You can also say Who reached out?, you or them. The same line shows after a recording, under Who is this about?, and saves one reflection about everyone you picked who is already in Groupthink.

Skip it and nothing is saved. If you already answered about someone in the last 14 days, the line starts closed as a small How was that? you can open yourself.

A person's page has a How it's felt section with a lock, closed until you open it. It shows:

• each reflection as a small mark with its date. Tap one to read it, change it or delete it.
• What you noted, once you have 3 reflections about them: counts of your own answers, such as "After 3 of your last 5 you felt worse." Tap a line to see the reflections behind it.
• What happened, from the record, kept separate: meetings on your calendar and how many you organized, plans made, promises each way and how many were kept, and how you were in touch. Tap a line to see the meetings, logged interactions and promises behind it: a meeting opens its recap, and the others take you to their place on the person's page. Calendar events aren't listed.
• a question, Does this still reflect what you want?, when your intention and your own answers don't line up. Yes, keep it puts it away for 90 days; Change it opens your intention.

Under Cadence, the Intention row is your private answer to "What do you want this to be right now?": invest more, close but low frequency, maintain warmly, a professional relationship you value, occasional, let it drift, or fine to go quiet. It changes how Going Cold reads a quiet stretch with them, and nothing else. Change shows your earlier intentions and their dates.

Only you see any of this. It is never used in messages or drafts, never shared with AI tools you connect, and never in notifications. Groupthink doesn't score the relationship or tell you what to do about it.

Commitments

A person's page has a Commitments section, below Open threads. It lists what the two of you have promised each other in meetings and notes:

• You owe Sam and Sam owes you. When Groupthink can't tell which way a promise points, it goes under Not sure who owes whom.
• Open ones come first, then the ones that are done.
• Under each one is where and when it was said, like "From Weekly sync · Sep 12" or "From a note · Sep 20".

Some things are left out on purpose. A promise someone else told you about ("Sam said Priya would call") never goes on Priya's list. Suggested items you haven't confirmed, and ones you dismissed, stay off too. There are no scores or counts here. It's your record of what was said, nothing more.

You can close things out right from this list:

• Mark one done by tapping its circle. It moves to the done ones. If you tapped by mistake, tap Undo in the line that appears under the list.
• Dismiss one that no longer stands. Tap Dismiss on an open commitment and it comes off the list. Tap Undo under the list if you didn't mean it.
• Told them. Once something you owe is done, tap Told them after you've let the other person know. It then reads "Told Sam just now". If that was a mistake, tap it and choose Mark as not told.
• Change who owes whom. Tap "You owe Sam" or "Sam owes you" on a row and pick I owe them, They owe me or Not a commitment. The row moves to the right group. Something you mark as not a commitment moves under Not sure who owes whom. You can't change this on a row that reads "Told Sam": tap it and choose Mark as not told first, then change who owes whom. The mark is your record that you told them, so Groupthink won't remove it for you.

If a promise came from someone else's notes on a shared meeting, only they can change who owes whom or mark it as told. The app says so if you try.

The same changes show up on Action items on Today, in the meeting's recap, and on the web.

Did these happen?

When you open a meeting from Today, a Did these happen? card under the prep lists a few open commitments with the people in that meeting. For each one, tap It happened to mark it done, or Dismiss if it no longer stands. Leave the rest as they are; nothing changes until you answer. If someone has more open, The rest are on Sam's page takes you there. The card only appears when someone in the meeting has something open.

Gifts

Gift ideas come up at odd moments: at his favorite coffee shop, or when she mentions a book she wants. A person's page has a Gifts section at the bottom, under Goals, so the idea is there before the birthday. It isn't on your own page.

• Add an idea. Tap Add in the Gifts section, or + at the top of the page and then Add gift idea. Type the idea, where it came up if you like ("Coffee with Kevin last week"), and under For, the occasion: Any occasion, Birthday, Holidays or Anniversary. Tap Save idea.
• Ideas lists what you haven't given yet, newest first, with where it came up and the occasion under each.
• Mark given when you give it. It moves to Given with today's date, and Groupthink logs the gift as an interaction with them, so you don't need to log it again. If you tapped by mistake, tap Not given yet and it moves back; the logged gift comes off their history.
• How did it land? Under each gift you've given, tap Loved it, Liked it or Didn't land. It helps you pick the next one.
• Delete an idea you no longer want: touch and hold it, tap Delete, then confirm.

The same gifts show on the person's page on the web.

The arc summary

A person's page includes an Arc summary, the same one the web app shows for them. It sums up the last few months with this person: a one-line status, a short account of how things have gone, what changed most recently, and a suggested next move. Tap Draft it under the suggestion and Groupthink starts drafting a message about that move right away (see Drafting an email or a text).

The Scorecard grades a couple of things, such as how much you know about the person and whether your open threads are moving. Each grade is an AI opinion, and the page says so under every grade, along with the counts it was based on. Treat it as a prompt to think, not a measurement.

Groupthink writes the summary when you open the page, so it can take a moment to appear after the rest of the page. A new person with no notes yet just says there isn't enough to go on. Your own record doesn't get a summary.

Drafting an email or a text

Groupthink can write a first draft of a message to someone for you. On their page, tap +, then Draft outreach. Choose Email or Text, add a tone hint if you like ("Keep it brief and warm"), and tap Draft an email or Draft a text.

The draft comes back with To filled in from the email address or phone number Groupthink has for them, and for an email a Subject. Change anything you like. Then:

• Open in mail app opens a new email with everything filled in. If Apple Mail has an account on your iPhone, it opens there; otherwise it opens in your default mail app, such as Gmail or Outlook.
• Open in Messages opens a new text to them with the message filled in.
• Copy draft copies it, with the subject for an email, so you can paste it anywhere.

Groupthink never sends the message. You press Send in Mail or Messages. Regenerate writes a new draft, and asks first if you've edited the current one. Closing the draft also asks before throwing away your edits. Draft outreach isn't offered on your own record.

Suggested updates to someone's details

When something you logged suggests one of a person's lasting details changed, such as "they moved to Denver" or "she married Sam", their page shows a card under Contact headed Suggested from recent conversations. Each row names the detail (Address, How to address, Partner, or Anniversary), shows the old value and the new one, and says which conversation it came from.

• Tap Update address (or partner, and so on) to save the new value. It shows on the person's page on the web too.
• Tap ✕ to skip a suggestion. It stays hidden until you next open the app, and can come back later if the note behind it still stands.

If nothing has changed, there's no card.

When two people may be the same person

When Groupthink finds someone in People who looks like a second copy of the person you have open, a card near the top of their page asks Is this the same person as and the other person's name, with their email in brackets when they have one. On your own record it asks Is this you? instead. A line under the question says why the two look alike, such as a shared email address or phone number, or the same name.

• Merge… opens the merge sheet on its Confirm merge step, with the record to keep already chosen. If the two have different names, it asks which name to keep. Nothing is merged until you tap the red merge button at the bottom of the sheet. Tap Cancel to leave it.
• Not the same closes the question for that pair, and it isn't asked again.

The card asks about one match at a time. When you answer it, the next match, if there is one, takes its place.

To see every waiting pair at once, tap Possible duplicates at the top of People, which shows how many are waiting. It is there only when there are pairs to look at and you aren't searching. Each row asks whether the two are the same person and has the same Merge… and Not the same buttons. Pairs that include your own record come first. Pull down to refresh the list.

The same questions show on the web. See Merging Duplicate Contacts.

A person's cadence

A person's page has a Cadence section. Tap Set (or Edit, once one is set) to pick how often you want to be in touch.

A suggested cadence. If the person has no cadence yet and Groupthink sees a rhythm in your contact with them, the section shows a card instead. It says how often you've been in touch and asks whether to check in at that rhythm.

• Tap Use quarterly (or whichever cadence it suggests) to set it.
• If you've been in touch every year for a few years with no set rhythm, the card says so and offers Check in yearly or No schedule.
• Tap Choose your own to pick a different cadence.
• Tap the X to hide the card until you next open the page.

Nothing is set until you tap. The card doesn't appear on your own record.

Last really caught up. Under the cadence is a Last really caught up line, for the last time you each heard what's going on in the other's life, not the last text.

• Tap Add (or Change), pick the day, and add a line about what you talked about if you like. You can't pick a day in the future.
• Tap Clear to remove your answer.
• Until you fill it in, the line shows Not set, or a conversation Groupthink thinks fits, with a Groupthink's guess tag and the reason underneath. Tap That's right to keep it as your answer, or Add to pick a different day. A guess has no Clear.

The same line is on the person's page on the web. See Say when you last really caught up.

Setting cadences for several people at once

A cadence is how often you want to be in touch with someone: every week, every month, once a year. When it has been longer than that, they show up on Today under Relationship check-ins.

• Who to keep up with: when Groupthink can suggest a cadence for people who don't have one yet, a gold Who to keep up with row sits at the top of People, with how many. Tap it to see each person with the suggestion and how often you've been in touch. Tap Accept to set the suggestion, Change to pick another, or Accept all suggested to set everyone on the list.
• Pick the people yourself: tap the ⋯ at the top right and choose Set cadence for several people. Tap each person you want; Select all ticks everyone the list is showing, so search first to narrow it. Tap Set cadence, choose Suggested for each person or one cadence for everyone (No cadence clears it), and confirm. Nothing changes until you confirm. The sheet then says how many were set, and names anyone who wasn't, with why: your own record never gets a cadence, and Suggested for each person leaves alone anyone Groupthink has no suggestion for yet. Tap Cancel to leave without setting anything.

Muting a person

Some people you don't want in Groupthink at all, such as someone who was only copied on an invite, or a test address of your own. Mute them instead of deleting them:

• From the People tab: swipe left on the person and tap Mute.
• From their page: tap the ⋯ at the top right and choose Mute.

They leave the People list right away, and a line at the bottom confirms it with Undo. Your own record can't be muted.

A muted person's record stays in Groupthink, hidden. They don't show up on People, Today, check-ins, briefs, the Advisor or suggestions, and calendar, email, text and recap capture skip their record. Anything you log for them by hand still saves.

Once anyone is muted, the switch above the People list adds Muted, with how many you've muted. Tap Muted to see only them. Search works there too. To unmute someone, swipe left on them and tap Unmute, or press and hold and choose Unmute. They go back on the People list. Unmuting doesn't bring back the email or texts that were skipped while they were muted. Unmuting the last one takes Muted off the switch.

A muted person's page opens as usual, with a grey line at the top saying they're muted. Tap Unmute on that line (it reads Undo right after you mute from the page), or choose Unmute from the ⋯ menu.

For how muting works across Groupthink, see Relationships.

Waiting on you

If the Groupthink desktop app on a Mac sends your Messages statistics, the switch above the People list also has Waiting on you, with how many people are waiting. Tap it to see only the people whose text to you is the last in the conversation and has gone unanswered for between 3 and 30 days. It's the same rule as Reply owed on Today, without Today's limit of 10. Each row says how long ago they texted, for example "Texted you 5 days ago". Tap a row to open that person's page. Search works there too, and Show more at the bottom loads more people.

Texts not linked to anyone won't show here. A text from a number that isn't on anyone's record can't count; add the number to the person to bring them in. If no Mac has ever synced your texts, the switch doesn't offer Waiting on you.

Lists

A list is a set of people you keep up to date for one purpose, like the people who get a holiday card. A list is a tag you added to people yourself. For how lists work everywhere, see Lists.

Open a list. Tap the Lists button (the list icon at the top left of the People tab). It shows Everyone, then each of your lists with how many people are on it. Tap a list to open it. If you have no lists yet, the menu says so.

Each person on the list shows their mailing address, or No mailing address, then when the address was last confirmed, then their Salutation and Partner (a dash when there is none). A date over a year old, or Address never confirmed, is shown in gold.

See who needs an address or a check. Two buttons at the top count the people on the list: Missing address and Not confirmed in a year. Tap one to show only those people. Tap it again to show everyone.

Fix a detail.

• If an address is still right, tap Still right under it. That marks it confirmed today without changing it.
• Swipe left on a person and tap Edit address to change it. Press and hold a person to edit their salutation or partner instead. Clearing the box and tapping Save removes the detail.
• Tap a person to open their page, where the same details are under Contact.

Add people. On the People tab, tap Lists (or the ⋯ button) and choose Add people to a list. Tick the people, then tap Add to list. Pick one of your lists, or type a name to start a new one, like Holiday cards 2026, and tap Add. Groupthink says how many it added. Tap Open the list to see them.

At the bottom of a list, In touch this year, not on this list shows people you've been in contact with since January 1 who aren't on it yet. Tap Add next to a person to put them on the list.

Take people off. Open the list, tap Select, tick the people and tap Take off list. They stay in your contacts.

Share the list as a spreadsheet. Open the list and tap the share button at the top right. The share sheet opens with a CSV file named after the list, with the columns Name, Salutation, Partner, Mailing address and Address last confirmed. Save it to Files, or send it to an app or a print service. A list of more than 5,000 people is too big to download at once.

Lists need a Groupthink sign-in.

Texts

The iPhone app can't read your text messages. iOS doesn't let any app read Messages. Texts reach Groupthink through the Groupthink desktop app on a Mac, which reads the Messages history on that Mac and files each conversation onto the right person. Once a conversation is filed, it shows up here too: on that person's timeline, and in when you last talked to them.

A few things decide whether a text shows up:

• The Mac has to do the reading. Turn on Messages in iCloud on your iPhone and your Mac so your texts reach the Mac, then keep the desktop app running there.
• It isn't instant. The desktop app checks for new messages about a minute after it opens, then every 15 minutes while it's running. A text from this morning can take until the next check to appear.
• Only conversations you picked. On the Mac, you choose which conversations Groupthink imports. A conversation you never picked is never read, with one exception: when you put a number on someone from your iPhone (under Who is this?, or with Add phone number on their page), your Mac syncs that one conversation on its next check. Their Texts section shows the number with Syncing from your Mac, then Synced. If your Mac's Messages has no conversation with that number, it says Your Mac found no conversation with this number.
• The number has to be on the contact. A text is matched to a person by their phone number or Apple ID email, never by name. If the number isn't saved on their Groupthink contact, the conversation arrives without a person attached and doesn't move their "last talked" date. Add the number on their page (see Phone numbers above), or file the conversation to them from the import on your Mac. On the iPhone, open Conversations from the Interactions tab and tap Attach to contact on the conversation. When that saves the number to the contact, the app says We'll match this number to them next time. Filed the wrong person? Tap Undo next to Not right? under the filed line. The app says Undone. This number is back under Who is this? and asks whose number it is again. The same Not right? Undo shows after you name a number under Who is this? on Today or Interactions. A conversation from an Apple ID email address works the same way: filing it adds the address to the person, so later texts from it are filed to them. The app says We'll match this address to them next time., with the same Not right? Undo, which takes the address back off them. If another of your contacts already has the address, it stays with them and only the conversation you filed is filed, and the app tells you so.
• Only group texts you ticked on the Mac. A group chat with 8 or fewer other people is imported only if you tick it in the import on your Mac, and then it goes onto the record of each person in it. Larger group chats are never read. See Group texts.

The Texts section on a person's page

Each person's page has a Texts section above Contact. Once texts are filed to them, it says how many days of texts there are and when the last one was, for example "12 days of texts, last Oct 14", and shows the last three lines of the most recent day. Each line says who sent it: You, their name, or a phone number.

When nothing is filed yet, the section says so and offers two ways to fix it from your iPhone:

• Add their number opens your iPhone's Contacts. Tap the person, then the number you text them on. Groupthink doesn't need access to all your Contacts for this: it only gets the number you tap. The number goes on their page, and texts your Mac already synced from it are filed to them. The section says Added and the number, with Not right? Undo, then how many days of texts it filed, for example "Filed 14 days of texts to Ally." Type a number next to it lets you type the number instead.
• Link a text thread lists the numbers you text that aren't on anyone yet, busiest first, with the last few texts of each so you can tell which one is them. Tap one and confirm, and its texts are filed to this person. Tap Undo next to Not right? if you picked the wrong one.

The texts themselves still come from the Mac app. If your Mac hasn't synced Messages, there is nothing to file yet, and the section says so after you add the number. New texts show up after the Mac's next check.

A note on where tagged people show up

When you're signed in, the people you pick in Who is this about? are filed to their timelines on the server, and that's where an interaction shows up as part of the relationship. Captures you don't file to anyone stay on this phone and still show up on the Interactions tab. When you're signed in, they're marked Only on this phone so you can tell them apart from what's in your account. See Your recent interactions.
