The top two-thirds of the screen contains several boxes that can be scrolled through; these boxes give access to other menu screens. The 3 small buttons at the top allows you to view your [[Decor Pikmin|Decor]] collection, your [[Friend]]s, and the [[#News|news section]]. | ||
The large box below contains a map, a step counter, and a weekly calendar, and tapping it opens the lifelog group of menus. If an expedition or mushroom battle is available, there will be a popup at the top of the box, and tapping that will go straight to the expedition page of the lifelog group. | |||
The bottom third of the screen contains an animation of the player's [[Mii]] walking and their [[squad]] of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] behind them. This is on top of a curved line that represents the steps the player has done that day. In the lower right are 3 buttons that lead to other menus: the top one with a flower leads to the [[#Flower planting|flower planting menu]], the middle one with the [[seedling]] leads to the [[#Planter Pack|Planter Pack]], and the bottom one with the whistle leads to the [[#Garden|garden screen]]. At the bottom in the center of the screen is a compass button; tapping this or swiping to the right will go to the [[#Map|map]]. | Under that, there is a small box that shows the top-most mission in the Challenge List, and tapping it opens the Challenge List page. And other 2 smaller buttons which open the Player's [[#Profile|profile page]], and the [[#Shop|Shop]]. | ||

The profile page shows the player's [[Mii]], their username, their [[level]], the total number of steps since downloading the app, the tasks required to reach the next level, and their [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badges]]. Tapping one of the badges will open a badge viewer that shows information about the statistic that badge relates to in a separate scrollable page. There is a button on the top left that opens a menu about the player's in-game [[friend]]s, a button on the top right that opens a settings page, and a button on the bottom right that opens a page that allows the player's Mii to be edited. | The profile page shows the player's [[Mii]], their username, their [[level]], the total number of steps since downloading the app, the tasks required to reach the next level, and their [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badges]].

At the center of the screen at the bottom is a large ball of [[nectar]]. This is how Pikmin are fed. Tapping this will bring up a rotational selector to choose which type of nectar to use. When a nectar type is selected, swiping up from the nectar ball will throw a small ball of nectar into the garden, and Pikmin will run towards it to try and eat it. By holding the nectar ball and then dragging around, nectar can be fed to a Pikmin just by dragging the finger over it; this is the most efficient way to feed Pikmin nectar. Pikmin will run towards nectar held in the air like this. When a Pikmin has been fed, tapping its flower will make it jump and add [[petal]]s to the player's supply. | At the center of the screen at the bottom is a large ball of [[nectar]].

The whistle button in the lower right corner has multiple functions. Tapping it briefly will cause all Pikmin to stop moving and display their nicknames. Holding it will order all Pikmin to run towards the center of the garden. Double-tapping it will swap out the current squad of Pikmin for another squad. Double-tapping immediately after a swap will swap the squad again, but will prioritise refilling with certain Pikmin: | |||

*Double-whistling once will swap in a squad of favourite Pikmin. | |||

*Double-whistling thrice will revert the squad to whatever Pikmin the squad consisted of before the double-whistle sequence began. | |||
**The 'Default' squad, as it is called, is saved whenever the player does anything other than double-whistle. If they stop on the favourite squad, by stopping whistling or leaving the garden etc., that squad is now both the favourite and default squad. | |||
Previous to the uknown update that changed the double-whistling, the whistle button was needed to be clicked thrice before the squads changed. The squad that they changed into, also have been changed. The previous triple-whistle squads were: | |||

The map screen shows a map of the real world centered around the player. The map data comes from [https://www.openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap], and shows roads as white lines, pedestrian paths as thicker white lines, land in green, and water in blue. On top of the base map are flowers planted with [[flower planting]] over the last few days, [[Big Flower]]s and their radii, and [[mushroom battle|mushrooms]] if they have been unlocked. The camera can be rotated around the player and zoomed in and out, with closer zoom levels being more angled. There is a compass icon in the top right corner; tapping it once will orient the the map in the direction the device is held in, and tapping it twice will orient the map north. At the player's location is their [[Mii]] and their Pikmin [[squad]]. If the Pikmin are holding [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]] or items from [[expedition]]s, those can be tapped from the map screen to collect them. | The map screen shows a map of the real world centered around the player.
