# Your Chests

> Open, search, and use the menu on each Chest

**Chests** is the home screen. Each card is one Chest you own or one you have joined.

## How do I open a Chest? <a href="#open-a-chest" id="open-a-chest" />

Tap the card. You land on that Chest, with **All**, **Photos**, and **Videos** across the top.

## How do I search? <a href="#search" id="search" />

Tap **Search Chests** and type part of a name. Cards that do not match drop away.

If nothing matches, OurChest says **No Chests match** that word. Tap **Clear search** to see the full list again.

## What does the card menu do? <a href="#card-menu" id="card-menu" />

Press and hold a card, or open its menu.

On a Chest you own, the menu has **Open**, **Invite people**, and **Chest settings**.

On a Chest you joined, the menu has **Open**, **Chest settings**, and **Leave Chest**. A member cannot invite people.

*Android. The iPhone menu has the same actions.*

**Leave Chest** is explained in [Chest settings](./chest-settings). The only owner of a Chest cannot leave it.

## What if I have no Chests? <a href="#no-chests" id="no-chests" />

OurChest says **No Chests yet** and **Create a Chest, then invite the people who should add to it.**

Tap **+** and then **New Chest**. See [Create a Chest](./create-a-chest).

A guest with no Chest sees **Open an invite link to join a Chest.** The **+** menu offers **Join with a link** and **Scan QR code**. It does not offer **New Chest**.

*iPhone. Android shows the same empty guest home.*

## What if the list does not load? <a href="#list-does-not-load" id="list-does-not-load" />

OurChest says **Couldn't load your Chests**. Tap **Try again**.

If you are offline, the screen says **You're offline** and **Showing what was loaded last. Check your connection.** Chests that were already on the phone stay visible. New ones wait until you are back online.
