# Settings — Mobile app

The screen where users manage their account, preferences, notifications, and app behaviour.

## Items

### Grouped table layout
Settings organised into clearly labelled sections (Account, Notifications, Privacy, Support) using the native grouped list pattern

_Tip: Grouped settings are a platform convention users have deeply internalised. Deviating from it forces users to relearn navigation they already know_

### Native toggle controls
Binary settings presented with the platform-native toggle switch (UISwitch on iOS, Material Switch on Android)

_Tip: Custom toggles that look slightly off from the native ones create subtle distrust, since the difference is small but users notice it_

### Destructive actions grouped
Log out, delete account, and other irreversible actions in their own section at the bottom, visually distinguished in red

### Account details at top
The user's avatar, name, and email shown prominently at the top of settings, a clear anchor for whose account is being managed

### Deep link to specific settings
A direct link from relevant in-app prompts to the specific settings screen they reference — notification preferences, privacy, and so on.

_Tip: Telling users where to find a setting is far less effective than linking them there directly._

### Support and feedback access
A clear path to contact support, submit feedback, or access help documentation, accessible from within settings.

### App version
The current app version shown at the bottom of settings — essential for support conversations and identifying build-specific issues.

### Legal links
Links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service accessible within settings, as required by app stores.
