How to set up your Orbit profile
Last updated
A filled-in profile makes group owners more likely to approve you in paid groups and makes conversations feel less anonymous.
Profile photo
Add a clear photo or avatar from your profile screen. Group members and admins see this next to every message you send, so a blank grey circle can make you look like a spam account, especially in paid groups.
Bio and basic details
A short bio helps people decide whether to reply to you first in a new group. Keep it factual and avoid sharing phone numbers or addresses publicly, since anyone in a shared group can view your profile.
Cosmetic touches
Once you have some coins, profile frames, banners and glow effects from the store are a way to stand out. These are cosmetic only and do not affect coins, group permissions or your ability to chat.
- Frames sit around your profile photo
- Banners show on your full profile page
- Glow effects highlight your name in chat
Keeping your profile current
Revisit your profile after joining a few groups. A stale bio or an old photo is easy to forget about but is the first thing new group members judge you on.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a profile photo mandatory?
- No, but many paid group owners are more comfortable admitting members with a photo and a filled-in bio.
- Can other members see my email address?
- No, your email is private and is never shown on your profile or in chat.
- Do profile cosmetics cost withdrawable coins?
- You can buy them with either free or paid coins, but they are always non-withdrawable purchases regardless of which coins you spend.
