Account settings

Account settings

Your settings page is the control center for your Vid Receipts experience. Here you can manage your profile, customize how the app looks, and keep your account up to date.

Accessing settings

You can get to your settings by clicking the gear icon in the navigation bar or by opening the profile menu and selecting Settings.

Profile management

Update your display name and other account information from the Profile section. Your display name is how other users see you when you post receipts, leave comments, or vote.

Your setup checklist

While your profile is unfinished, the Profile section also carries the setup checklist and your progress through it, and under it a Show this on my home screen link. Use it if you hid the checklist from home and want it back; it reopens the panel there and puts your cursor on it. When the checklist is already on your home screen the same link reads Open this on my home screen and simply takes you to it.

At 100% the section says Profile complete. and the link is gone, because there is nothing left to bring back.

Personas

Personas let you create different posting identities within Vid Receipts. Each persona has its own display name and avatar, so you can keep different activities separate.

• Create new personas for different topics or communities
• Switch between personas when posting receipts or comments
• Manage all your personas from one place

Learn more in the Personas guide.

YouTube connection

Link or unlink your YouTube account directly from settings. Connecting YouTube gives you access to your subscriptions inside Vid Receipts and puts Discover in an order for you: recent uploads from channels you subscribe to are added, and the order leans toward what you subscribe to and like.

For a step-by-step walkthrough, see Connect your YouTube account.

Notifications

The Notifications section is where you decide what reaches you and how. Two master switches at the top cover the lot: In-App Notifications for the bell at the top of the page, and Email Notifications for everything we would email you that is not essential. Turn one off and nothing below it can turn it back on.

Activity emails go to the verified email address on your sign-in account. If that address is unverified or your account is disabled or being deleted, those emails are paused. Editing a profile email field does not change the delivery address.

Under them, What you get notified about lists every kind of notice with its own in-app and email switch, so you can keep the bell for comments and drop the emails, or the other way round. Watch party invitations, reminders and cancellations are three of those rows. A dash instead of a switch means that kind is never emailed.

A few things are sent whatever your settings say, because you need them: a payment, a plan change, a trial ending, and the notice that something of yours was taken down after a report.

Moderation decisions of the ordinary kind are on the page like everything else. A receipt, a comment or a profile edit turned down each has its own row, in the bell only, with a dash where the email switch would be.

Theme

Vid Receipts defaults to dark mode, but you can switch to light mode anytime. Toggle your preferred theme from the Settings page, your choice is saved automatically.

Your theme stays the same when you move between Help and the app.

Billing

See your current plan, its status, and your usage. During the free Pro trial, the card shows the day it ends and that you won't be charged. From here you can explore plans, keep Pro, or manage a paid subscription. For more details, visit Plans & billing.
