Getting Started Guide

New to GETTR? Here’s how to get started with using GETTR!

Step 1: Set up your profile

Have you already signed up? Great! Now, set up your profile so that others can get to know you better.

To get started, add these to your profile:

  • A profile picture so that others know who you are
  • A short bio to describe yourself
  • If you want a better name to be displayed on your profile, change your display name (Remember that your username cannot be changed, but your display name can.)

 

Step 2: Follow people

Follow at least 10 people to get you started on seeing content in your Home timeline.

To search for people to follow, click the Search icon that is located in the bottom navigation bar if you’re using the app, or located in the Suggested for you or Popular user panel in your Home timeline on Web or APP respectively.

You can also follow specific people by entering their username or display name into the search bar.
