Edit your profile
Edit your profile in the app
- On Home, tap your profile picture at the top left. Settings opens.
- Tap Edit profile on the card at the top. Account & profile opens.
- Under Public profile, tap the part you want to change.
- Make the change and tap Save.
On your own profile, the pencil button next to Requests and Account opens the same screen.
Edit your profile on the website
- On ayyam.com, open your profile and click Edit profile. Settings opens on Profile, laid out the way your profile looks.
- Click what you want to change and type. Your username has its own Change button. City, Pronouns and Link are the buttons under your bio.
- Click Save changes. Discard puts everything back the way it was.
What you do and City are set on the website only. They show on your profile in the app too.
What you can change
| Row | What it is | Up to |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Your name, in large letters on your profile and your posts | 40 characters |
| Username | Your @name. Nobody else can have the same one. | 30 characters |
| Bio | A few lines under your name. Hashtags and mentions in it become links. | 150 characters |
| Link | One web address, under your bio | 120 characters |
| Pronouns | Shown after your name | 40 characters |
Your name can’t be left empty. Everything else can.
What’s the difference between my display name and my username?
Good to know
- Everyone can see these, even when your account is private. A private account hides your posts and your followers lists, not your profile.
- The card at the top of Settings shows your profile the way a stranger reads it. Tap it to open your real profile.
- There’s no limit on how often you change your name or bio.
- Your email address sits under Private information on the same screen, and nobody else sees it. Tap Email to change it.
