Privacy and visibility

With a private account, only followers you accept can see your profile posts. New followers send a request, which you accept or decline under Follow requests. Your listings, stories and wishes can then be shared with your followers or kept to yourself.

Blocking hides you and the other person from each other everywhere on Ahiuwa. The list of people you blocked is under Blocked accounts, where you can unblock them. More in Blocking someone.

Choose the audience that is preselected whenever you create a post. You can still change it on each post before publishing.

Listings

Public, my followers, or only me.

Stories

Public, my followers, or only me.

Wishes

People I follow (the usual choice), public, or only me.

With a private account, the choices are your accepted followers or only you.

Choose the places your listings, stories, wishes and public profile reach. Tick a country to reach all of it, then open it to untick any state or city you want left out. Everywhere else, your posts stay hidden — and you do not turn up in people searches there.

This is useful if you only deliver locally, or want to keep a personal account out of other regions.

Choose the countries whose listings and wishes appear in your For you feed and discovery. People you follow always reach you, wherever they post from.

Decide whether other people can open the list of accounts you follow.

Authors can turn on audience control to mark a listing, story or wish 18+. How it looks to you depends on your age:

Adults

You see 18+ posts normally. Turn on Blur 18+ posts to have them blurred until you tap through.

Under 18, or no birth date

18+ posts are always blurred and cannot be opened.

Signed out

Treated the same as under 18.

Add your birth date in your profile to be treated as an adult. Your birth date is never shown to anyone.

Your name, username, photos, bio, badges, followers, feedback and the posts you shared with them are visible to others. Your email, birth date and identity documents are never shown. Your phone number is only shown to someone who taps Show phone on one of your listings.
