Who can see what you read

You decide who sees what you read. For new accounts, by default, your friends can see it: the people you follow who follow you back.

Changing it

1. Go to Settings → Account → Edit profile (or tap Edit profile on your profile).
2. Under Who can see what I read, choose:
   • Everyone: anyone, including on your public profile on the web.
   • Friends: only people who follow each other with you.
   • Only me: nobody else.
3. To apply it to the books you already had too, tap Apply to what I already have too and confirm.
4. Tap Save.

Note: if you don't tap Apply to what I already have too, the change only applies to books you add from now on.

If your account was private, the first time you open Community we'll ask whether you want to Let my friends see it or Keep it private. We don't change anything without asking.

Want to read

Books in Want to read have their own switch: open the book's page and turn off Visible to your friends if you don't want that one to show.

Other things you share

• Reviews: public, as in any bookshop. If they give something away, mark them Contains spoilers and they'll be hidden.
• Quotes: visible to whoever you shared them with.
• Lists: each one has its own Who can see it. See Book lists.
• Stats: not shown to anyone unless you turn on Show my stats.

Your profile on the web

With Public profile on the web turned on (it is by default), anyone with the link can see your profile on joinkevra.com: your public lists and the books you've finished publicly. The web never shows anything that's friends-only, because there we don't know who's looking. You need a username. More in Your profile.

Common questions

Do unidentified books show up? No. Community doesn't show unidentified books (no cover, or the file name as title).

Can anyone see my files? No. What's shared is which book you're reading and how far you are, never your files. More in Your data and privacy.
