How to keep my information private? Account/Single Private Workout/Remove Social Media Features

Hevy is not just a workout logging app; it’s also a place where you can share your workouts and strength-building journey with other athletes, allowing users to motivate and learn from one another.

By default, Hevy accounts are public. This means other users may be able to view your profile and workouts unless you change your privacy settings. If you would prefer to keep your activity private or not participate in Hevy’s social features, you can adjust these settings at any time.

For more information about how Hevy collects, uses, and protects your personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.

How do I make my account private?

1. Go to the Profile tab at the bottom of the app and tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to open Settings.
2. Select Privacy & Social.
3. Toggle on Private Profile.

A private profile means that other users will need to request to follow you before they can see your workouts.

1. Go to the Profile tab at the bottom of the app and tap the gear icon in the top-right corner.
