Settings

Change your name and nickname, appearance, and language, or delete your Knit account.

Settings holds your profile and preferences. Open it from the bottom bar.

In this guide: Edit your profile, change how Knit looks, and delete your account.

Before you begin: Sign in with a passkey or a social account. Settings isn’t available on a device signed in with a QR code (Temporary access).

Profile

  • Display name — your name as apps and other people see it, up to 80 characters.
  • Nickname — your @handle. As you type, Knit checks whether it’s available and shows, for example, “@alex_doe is available”. If it’s taken, Knit suggests alternatives you can tap.

Change either field and tap Save.

You can change your nickname only a limited number of times — the counter next to the field shows how many changes you have left. Your previous nicknames are listed under Previous handles and still point to your account. The copy button next to the field copies your @handle so you can share it.

Appearance and language

  • Appearance — choose Light, Dark, or System (follows your device setting).
  • Language — choose the language Knit is shown in.

These apply straight away.
