o.k. I'm tooting. Is that a good thing? I've downloaded the Mastodon app for my phone. I can't see how To set the profile picture and little blurb that everyone (except me) seems to have.

@Hieraco I can't figure that out either.

@Tom77584 @Hieraco Which app are you using? In Amaroq (iOS) it's accessible by hitting the bottom right button and then going to either "Account Preferences" -> Edit Profile or "My Profile" -> ≡ -> Edit Profile. (Both take you to the same webview, and you may have to scroll down)

Welcome, by the way!

@Hieraco On the left bar, at the top, find the gear, 4th icon from the left. Click that. Then edit profile and you can upload a profile pic and header.

@bethmanderson I may have to do it from the desktop then. I can't find a config gear on this app. the configuration on this seems to only let me change notification colours.
I'll poke around this more in the morning. it's 3am here now.

@bethmanderson I think I got it on the desktop computer. hopefully the settings will remain when I switch to the mobile app on my phone or iPad. we'll see octodon.social/media/dFbgZiPmj

@Hieraco Cool. The app must have sync'd overnight and I was able to make it go. Amaroq on IOS
