Settings and Privacy
One of the most important factors in enjoying your time here on Fiesta, is having your account set up just how you like it. So you might want to tweak it a bit, and that's what we'll explain in this section.
- How can I hide my account?
If you don't want to use your account for a while, you have the option to hide it. When your account is hidden, you will not appear in People Nearby or the Encounters. Users you chatted with in the past can still message you but you will not able to read the message unless you unhide your profile.
To hide your account simply go to your settings , select 'Delete account' at the bottom of the page and select the option 'Hide your account'. As soon as you confirm this you will be logged out automatically. To read your messages, get seen in People nearby and Encounters again, simply log back in and unhide your profile.
