Settings & Notifications

Tune PlayMate to your liking. Open Settings from the profile icon on the Home header — here's every preference you can change.

PlayMate Settings hub with Account, Notifications, Privacy, Language, Appearance and more
The Settings hub — every preference and your account, in one place.

The top of Settings is all about you. Edit Profile opens your photo, name, bio, and home location. Account (Account Details) is where you manage security — change your password, see which sign-ins are connected (Apple, Google, X), and sign out of this device or all devices. Your full account controls and deletion live in Account, Privacy & Deletion.

  • Game updates — RSVPs and changes to games you're in.
  • Group activity — posts and chat in your groups.
  • New followers — when someone follows you.
  • Game reminders — a nudge before a game you've joined.
  • Marketing — occasional product news, off whenever you like.
