To view your PingRoom Awards on iPhone, open **Profile**, select the **Awards** card, and choose a medal. The collection separates awards you have earned from those not earned yet. A detail page explains the milestone and, when available, shows progress toward it.

Treat the collection as a record of product moments, not a target for sending more noise. Awards do not rank people, measure the quality of a relationship, or replace the activity and History views.

## Open the collection from Profile

Milestone medals are publicly available in [PingRoom 1.6 for iPhone](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pingroom/id6758355726).

1. Open PingRoom and choose **Profile**.
2. Find the **Awards** card.
3. Select the card to open the full collection.
4. Choose one medal to read its detail.

When you have earned awards, the Profile card can preview recent ones. Before the first earned award, the same card remains the route into the collection.

## Read status before progress

The collection uses three useful states:

| What you see                  | What it means                                   | What not to infer                                                         |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Earned**                    | The account met that award's recorded condition | That the activity was important, difficult, or better than someone else's |
| **Not earned yet**            | The condition has not been recorded as complete | That you should manufacture activity to unlock it                         |
| A current-versus-target value | PingRoom has valid progress for that award      | That every locked award exposes progress                                  |

Progress appears only where the award supplies it. A locked medal without a progress line is not a broken counter and should not be reverse-engineered from another person's account.

Select an award to read **About this award**. An earned detail can also show when it was earned. A locked detail stays marked **Not earned yet** and explains the eligibility condition that is available for it.

## Use the detail as an explanation, not a challenge

An illustrative reader opens one locked award and sees a small amount of progress. The useful next question is not “How do I send more Pings today?” It is “Would the underlying action help the people in this Room?”

If the answer is no, leave the award locked. A milestone should follow useful behavior, not create it.

That boundary matters for every category. A count of Pings is not communication quality. A confirmation milestone is not proof that an offline task happened. A referral milestone is not permission to contact strangers. The real action still needs its own purpose and consent.

[Pingo the Pigeon](/Pingo), our fictional Chief Marketing Officer, is looking at the empty cabinet spaces with the patience of someone who has declined to invent a quarterly medal quota. He cannot earn awards, inspect a profile, see private Rooms, or approve a milestone. The cabinet is an editorial metaphor, not a product screen.

## Understand what another profile reveals

When you open someone else's eligible profile view, PingRoom shows awards that person has earned. It does not expose their locked catalog or unearned progress.

That makes the public view a compact record of completed milestones, not a window into another person's goals. It also is not a global leaderboard: there is no instruction here to compare counts or rank people.

The account and Room permissions that let you reach a profile still apply. An award does not grant access to private Rooms, contact details, or activity outside the profile information already available to you.

## Choose the profile view that answers your question

| Question                                         | Open this                                                 | Why                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Which milestones has this account earned?        | **Awards**                                                | Shows the collection and available award detail        |
| Which recent Rooms or Pings carried an exchange? | [**Activity Recap**](/blog/your-pingroom-activity-recap)  | Routes back to a small set of recent moments           |
| What happened across Rooms, in order?            | [**History**](/blog/find-missed-ping-in-pingroom-history) | Gives the available chronology and Room filters        |
| What needs an answer or confirmation now?        | Open the Ping or its notification                         | The current action belongs to the event, not the medal |

The distinction keeps Profile useful. Awards summarize milestones. Recap routes to recent exchanges. History reconstructs sequence. The Ping itself carries the current message or action.

## Let useful work come first

If an award points to a capability you have not tried, learn the capability because it solves a real problem. A [short checklist attached to one Ping](/blog/attach-checklist-to-pingroom-ping), for example, is worthwhile when a shared moment has a few visible steps. It is not worthwhile merely to change a counter.

The same rule applies to Questions, confirmations, schedules, and connections: start with the reader task, choose the smallest useful PingRoom action, and let any milestone follow.

[Update PingRoom on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pingroom/id6758355726), open Profile, and read one award's eligibility before deciding whether the underlying action is useful.
