Your profile
Your profile introduces you, showcases your photography in one place, and gives you control over how much of your work can be seen beyond the community.
If you are new to Glass, Getting started covers account setup and your first post.
Adjusting your profile
Open your profile, go to Settings, and choose Edit Profile. You can change your display name, username, pronouns, profile picture, bio, and one website or social link.
Choose a username with care. It becomes part of your profile address at glass.photo/username. If you change it later, links using the old username stop working.
Choose who can see your work
A public profile can be visited and shared by anyone on the web, and its photos may appear in outside search engines. A members-only (or private) profile keeps the profile and its photos visible only to members of Glass with an active paid membership. Free Viewer accounts cannot see members-only profiles.
Changing your profile’s privacy:
Open your profile and go to Settings.
Choose Privacy.
Under Your Photos, toggle Members only on or off.
Public profiles are accessible with paid membership. If your account moves to Viewer, existing work stays on Glass but the profile becomes members-only.
See Membership and billing and Privacy, safety, and your data for details.
Comment visibility
Photo and comment visibility are separate under Settings > Privacy.
Your Comments controls whether people outside Glass can read comments and replies you leave on other members’ photos. Member Comments controls whether people outside Glass can read comments and replies on your photos.
If your photos are set to members-only, comments and replies on those photos are automatically members-only.
Profile tabs
Your profile separates your work and connections into five areas:
Photos contains single-photo posts, with pinned work first and the rest in chronological order.
Series contains projects and collections.
Following and Followers show your community connections.
Bookmarks contains photos you saved. It is private and visible only to you.
Pin photos to the top
Pining a photo allows you to share your most favorite work at the top of your profile, regardless of when it was originally posted. Open one of your photos, choose Edit Photo, and turn on Pin to your profile under Visibility. Save the post. To change the order, unpin and save, then pin the photos again in the order you want.
Turning Pin to your profile off removes the photograph from the pinned area but leaves it in its chronological place.
Hide a photo from your profile
You can control the look and feel of your profile by hiding photos that don’t quite fit with the rest of your images. Open the photo, select Edit Photo, and turn on Hide from profile under Visibility.
The photo will no longer appear in your profile grid, but it remains on Glass and continues to appear in relevant feeds. Its URL, comments, and appreciations are also preserved.
A hidden photo cannot be pinned to your profile. To return it to your profile, simply turn Hide from profile off. If you want to remove the photo from Glass entirely, delete the post instead.
Use your profile on every platform
Profile fields and privacy choices follow your account across iPhone, iPad, Android, the web, and Windows. Button locations can vary. See Platform guides for controls unique to each app.
