Settings
Every Ecency setting on web and mobile, from currency and theme to notifications, chat privacy and email digests.
Ecency keeps your preferences in one place on each platform. On the web, open your profile and choose Settings (the address is ecency.com/@yourname/settings). The Settings tab only appears on your own profile while you are logged in. On mobile, open the side menu and tap Settings.

Support Ecency
Section titled “Support Ecency”Two optional ways to support Ecency, both Off by default:

Email digests
Section titled “Email digests”Lists every email digest you receive (your notification digest, communities and creators) with its status.

Per-type notification settings

Mobile settings
Section titled “Mobile settings”The mobile Settings screen has these groups.
General
Section titled “General”- Currency and Language.
- Chat Privacy (same three options as on the web).
- Server: the Hive API node the app talks to. The app checks a server before switching to it, and shows Server not available if it is down or behind.

- NSFW: Always show, Always warn or Always hide.
- Appearance: Light, Dark or Device settings.
- Show Images: turn images in posts on or off.
- PIN code: lock the app with a PIN. Once a PIN is set you can also enable Finger Print / Face Unlock and Reset Pin Code. See Forgot your PIN?
Push notifications
Section titled “Push notifications”Turn Push Notification on, then choose the types you want: follow, vote, comment, mention, favorites, bookmarks, tags, reblog, transfers, scheduled post published, delegations, payouts, account updates and weekly earnings. If your device does not support push, you only get notifications while the app is open.
Support Ecency
Section titled “Support Ecency”The same two options as on the web: Share post rewards with Ecency and Hold back part of curation rewards, each with a percent.
Other entries
Section titled “Other entries”- Email digests: tap Manage to subscribe, change cadence, leave a digest or stop all email.
- Manage Authorities: view and manage your keys. The app asks you to secure it with a PIN before it shows private keys.
- Delete Account: sends a deletion request for your Ecency data and logs you out. It cannot erase anything already written to the Hive blockchain.
Muted users and bot comments
Section titled “Muted users and bot comments”Muting people is not part of the Settings page. See Mute users for how to mute and unmute someone.
In the mobile app, comments from known bot accounts are grouped into their own collapsed section under a post, so they do not crowd out human replies. There is no switch for this.
