# Profile — Mobile app

Not the account, but the public-facing identity of a user that others see when they look them up.

## Items

### Profile photo
An option to set an avatar image, either from the camera roll or by taking a new photo

_Tip: Offering both options and including a crop step covers the common case where camera photos aren't framed for a circular avatar_

### Display name and/or username
The name shown publicly and the handle used to identify the account in @mentions or search

_Tip: If both are editable, make clear which is visible to others and which is used as an identifier_

### Bio
A short text field where users can describe themselves or their work

_Tip: Showing a character limit counter as the user approaches it prevents the hard cutoff from feeling unexpected_

### Public fields only
The screen contains only information visible to other users, private account settings are kept on a separate screen

### Profile preview
A read-only view of how the profile will appear to other users, available before saving.

### External links (if relevant)
Optional fields for linking to a website, portfolio, or other social accounts
