Privacy and visibility

Everything here lives in Settings → Visibility. None of it deletes anything — it's all reversible.

Public or followers-only

A public account's videos can appear in Pulse for anyone, including guests. A followers-only account's videos are shown to approved followers; follow requests wait for your approval. Existing Echo chains keep showing the video to people who could already see it.

Per-video settings

Each video has its own audience (public, followers, or one Scene), its own Echo permission, and its own location sharing. Changing the account default doesn't change videos already published — edit those individually.

Location

Viewers see at most a city or area, and only on videos where you chose to share it. Nearby uses your location to pick what you see; it never publishes where you are. See Nearby and location.

Comments and filters

Turn comments off per video, limit them to followers, or keep them on with comment filters — a word list that hides matching comments from everyone but their author.

Reporting

Report a video, a comment, a profile, a message or a Scene from its menu. Reports go to moderation, not to the person reported. You'll get a decision, with a reason, in your Activity.

Your data

You can request a copy of your data, and you can have your account erased. Both are in Settings; the details and timelines are on the delete-account page, and what we hold and why is in the Privacy Policy.
