# An Introduction to Cwtch App Settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Appearance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are settings which effect how cwtch looks, including themes and localization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Behaviour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These settings impact how cwtch responds to certain events e.g. notifications for new messages, or requests
|
|
|
|
from unknown public addresses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Experiments

|
There are many features in Cwtch that people would like to have but whose implementation requires additional metadata, or
|
2022-05-31 20:58:19 +00:00
|
|
|
risk, beyond the minimum that Cwtch requires for basic operations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As such under **Experiments** you will find a number of **optional** settings which, when enables, provide
|
|
|
|
additional features like group chat, file sharing or message formatting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should think carefully when enabling these features about the new risks that might be involved, and if you
|
|
|
|
are comfortable opting-in to those risks. For many the benefits of file sharing, image previews and group chat
|
|
|
|
far outweigh the potential harms - but for other we require everyone to opt-in to these features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can opt-out at any time, all features are implemented locally within the Cwtch app.
