Your name, photo and handle

Your profile follows you into every workspace you’re in. To change it, open Account: on a computer, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar; on a phone, tap your picture at the top left, then Account.

Name and photo

On a computer, use Edit next to Name, and Add a photo or Change next to Photo. Remove takes the photo away and puts your initials back.

On a phone, both are in one row: tap your picture to pick a new photo, or Edit to change your name.

A photo is cropped to a square from its middle, so put your face near the centre.

Handle

Your handle is the address of your page in the community, shotz.co/@yourhandle, and the name on anything you share there. It’s made from your name when you sign up, and you can pick your own on the first screen after you sign up or here with Edit next to Handle.

• Between 3 and 24 characters: letters, numbers, dots and underscores.
• It starts and ends with a letter or a number, with one dot at a time.
• Some handles are kept for Shotz, including any that start with “shotz”.
• You can change it once every 30 days, and a handle you pick on the first screen after signing up counts. Until then, Account says when you can change it next.
• For 30 days after a change, your old handle still sends people to your page, and nobody else can take it.

If someone already has the handle you want, Shotz says so; try another.

Handles are only for addresses and bylines. Typing @ in a prompt tags an element, not a person.

Bio and your page

Bio is a line under your name on your page, up to 160 characters. Your page shows your address; Open takes you there to see it as others do. See Your community profile.
