We're all about customization; and what's more important than the ability to tweak your privacy settings?! Answer: finding the perfect pair of socks that go with every outfit.
Whether you're an open book, prefer a little anonymity, or want to be totally off the map, we've got you covered. Here are the tools you can use to adjust your privacy settings to best meet your own needs.
Your profile starts off as public, meaning that anyone can see your newsfeed posts. Here's how to change this:
Making Your Newsfeed Public or Private
Open your profile page
Tap Edit Profile
Tap Newsfeed Privacy
Toggle the on/off button
Turning Post Comments On or Off
If you make your newsfeed private, only your followers can see your posts on Highrise. You'll be able to approve followers before they can view your profile and posts.
Wanna say something spicy, but avoid taking the heat? You can turn off commenting to prevent people from commenting on a specific post. Here's how:
Open the newsfeed post you want to change
Tap the '...' icon under the post
Tap Turn Off Comments
If you turn commenting back on for a post, previous comments will be restored and people will be able to comment again.
Sharing Your Online Status
By default, your profile will show everyone when you're online. If you want to indulge in a chill afternoon of lurking paradise, you can hide your online status.
Open your profile page
Tap the Edit Profile button
Tap on Online Status
Toggle the on/off switch
Sharing The Room You're In
This option allows everyone to see the room you're in on your profile page and follow you there. If you'd rather keep your location secret, you can turn this off.
Open your profile page
Tap the Edit Profile button
Tap on Room You're In
Toggle the on/off switch
Sharing The Country You're In
This option allows everyone to see what country you're from. If you don't want to share your location you can switch it off.
Open your profile page
Tap the Edit Profile button
Tap on Country
Toggle the on/off switch
Changing Your Room Privacy
Change your room's access rights to prevent the peasant masses from ever entering! You can allow only your very special friends to visit, allow only your crew to enter, or bar everyone from entering your room by locking access rights to yourself only. Nothing wrong with some alone time.
Tap the Rooms button on the top left corner
Tap My Rooms
Tap the 'i' icon next to the room you want to change
Tap Room Settings button
Tap Access
Choose who has access to your room
Blocking Other Users
When someone's bothering you, block them and you won't hear from them again! This will prevent all their personal messages and posts from reaching you.
Open the profile you'd like to block
Tap the '...' button in the upper right corner
Tap Block User
If you've blocked someone and have a change of heart, visit their profile page and follow the same steps to unblock them.
