Here is their meaning:
: the member is in their birthday period; this symbol is
shown starting 10 days before and is kept visible until 2 days after the
actual birthday;

Jones; (in the context of
the participants to an event,
this may be related to the guest being marked as a “VIP” or a “Special Guest”
as well);

you have general questions about the Lions Clubs International or if you want
to create a new club.
Recently Visited Member Profiles¶

Note
The list is sorted so that the most recent profile you visited is accessible at the top of the list.

Note
We were asked how to go back to the blue background once you changed it for a custom picture: this is not possible, so if you do not like your background picture anymore, that’s easy: simply change it for a new one!
Tap a phone number, an email address, a postal address, … and a logical operation will start: an email address will start a new mail to that member, a postal address will open your maps application to provide guidance, …
