Account settings

You’ll find your account under Profile, and most settings under Profile → Settings.

Username

Your username is what other people see on your posts, unless you post anonymously. It’s 3 to 30 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and _. Each username exists only once.

Profile picture

Tap your picture on the profile screen to choose, change or remove one. It’s cropped to a circle, and the circle is what others see. JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 2 MB.

Your picture appears next to your name on your posts. It isn’t shown on anonymous posts.

Password

Settings → Change password needs your current password and a new one: at least 10 characters, with at least three of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and symbols.

Forgot it? See Troubleshooting.

Signing in with Google

You can switch an account that uses a password to signing in with Google instead: Settings → Sign in with Google instead.

This can’t be undone. Afterwards you only sign in with Google, and your password stops working. You confirm with your current password.

• The Google account doesn’t need to use the same email address. Your current address stays your contact address for messages from us.
• A Google account can only be linked to one Peerkola account.
• Linking works in the app, not in the browser version.

Accounts that sign in with Google have no password, so password changes and resets don’t apply.

Languages

• Settings → Language: the language of the app itself. System default follows your device.
• Filters → Languages: the languages of the posts you receive. See Channels and languages.

Light and dark

Settings → Appearance: System follows your device; Light or Dark sets it regardless.

Notifications

Peerkola doesn’t send notifications yet. The switches under Notifications in the settings are marked Soon and do nothing for now.

Explainers

• Replay intro: the welcome slides and rules again.
• How Peerkola works: how posts reach you and what tokens are for, in a few short slides.
• Show tips again: brings back the tips you closed.

Download or delete

Both are under Settings → Account and described in Your data.
