How to change your maps privacy settings

Map Privacy Settings

YouMap believes in privacy, and we empower our users to choose how they wish to create and share their content. We offer three privacy settings for maps including:

  • Public – Everyone can see the map
  • Selected People – Only invited people can see the map
  • Only Me – Only you can see the map

Additionally, you may choose to let users to post (or not to) on your maps. If you wish to have others post to your map and make it grow be sure to tap the Allow users to post toggle. Similarly, you may wish to keep the posting structure according to the Post Templates you added to your map. To do so, the Quick Posting toggle should be off.

 

To change your map’s privacy settings:

  1. Tap the edit map button.
  1. Select edit map located under the Map settings section.
  1. Tap the first option to change the map’s privacy settings. You can choose between Public, Selected People, or Only me.
