What it is

Open Settings and pick Personalization. This is the page where you tell Dopppel who you are.

You can give it a name of your own — Nova, or anything you like. Leave the box empty and it stays Dopppel. Under that, type the name you want to be called, so it talks to you the way your friends do.

Interests are short words like hiking, cooking or space. Dopppel uses them to pick examples and ideas that fit you. You can add up to 20, and take any one off again. A profile photo goes here too, and your friends see it in a Gäng.

  1. 1Open Settings from your account menu, then pick Personalization.
