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.
