How do I manage my privacy settings in the Spacetalk App?

How to choose what you share in each Space from Profile > Privacy settings in the Spacetalk App, and what each setting means.

Choose what you share in each of your Spaces from one screen. In the Spacetalk App, tap Profile, then Privacy settings.

Who this is for: Anyone using the Spacetalk App who wants to control what they share, and in which Space.

Note: Privacy settings comes with the new home screen, which we are switching on for everyone in stages over the coming weeks. If your app opens to the Spaces screen, see What if my app opens to the Spaces screen?

How do I change what I share?

  1. Tap Profile.

  2. Tap Privacy settings.

  3. Each Space is listed with its permissions. Switch each one on or off.

What does each setting mean?

The name beside each switch describes exactly what is shared. Some settings have new names:

Setting in Privacy settings

Previous name

Share your real time location

Location sharing

Let others message you

Chat

Allow others to see your check-ins

Feeling Check-ins

Receive SOS alerts

SOS contact

Allow all has been removed. Switch each setting on or off.

What if I cannot see Privacy settings?

Privacy settings comes with the new home screen. We are switching on the new home screen for everyone in stages over the coming weeks, so you might see it today or a little later. When you have it, Privacy settings is in Profile, not in a Space's settings.

How do I change what a kid or dependant shares?

  1. On the map, tap the Space name at the top and choose the Space.

  2. Tap their card at the bottom of the map.

  3. Tap User permissions.

  4. Switch each setting on or off. For adult members, User permissions is read-only. The switches describe what they share, for example Share their location and Let others message them.

For their device, profile and other settings, see How do I manage a kid or dependant's settings in the Spacetalk App?

What if my app opens to the Spaces screen?

Your sharing settings are in each Space. Go to the Space, tap the Settings icon in the top right corner, tap Member management, then tap your own name.
