Edit your profile
Your photo, name, bio, location and interests — where each field lives, which are required, and where each one shows up.
Everything about you lives in one place: Settings → Edit Profile.
Changes aren't saved as you type. A bar appears saying Unsaved changes — choose Save changes to keep them, or Cancel to throw them away. When it reads All changes saved, you're done.
Your photo
Under Profile Photo, drag an image in or click to upload. It's shown on your profile, on your comments, and on guest lists for events you're attending.
Remove profile photo takes it back off.
It's worth adding one. Organizers deciding whether to approve a join request often have nothing else to go on, and a blank avatar is harder to say yes to than a face.
Personal information
- First name and Last name
- Display name — what people actually see. Required.
- Date of birth — set as year, month and day
Contact
- Email — your sign-in address. It's never shown on your profile. It's there so you can see which address the account uses.
- Website — optional, shown on your profile
Location
- City — required
- Region / Province
- Country — required
- Timezone — what event times are shown in
City and country are required because discovery works on where you are. Showing them to other people is a separate choice — see the article on what your profile shows.
About you
Bio is free text. A couple of sentences is plenty: what you're into, what sort of thing you turn up to. It's the part people actually read before meeting you.
Your interests
Pick 3 to 5 topics to personalize what you're shown. A counter tracks how many you've chosen, and Save interests stays out of reach until you've picked at least three.
Interests shape what you see on Discover, so it's worth revisiting when what you're looking for changes.
If saving fails
If you see "Could not save profile. Please try again," nothing was saved — your changes are still on screen, so try again rather than retyping.
If you see "Profile saved, but the photo couldn't be uploaded," everything else went through and only the image failed. Re-upload the photo on its own.
