The setup guide

Right after you sign up, CageCheck walks you through a few quick steps. Every step can be skipped, and your progress is saved: if you leave halfway, you pick up where you left off next time.

The top of the page shows where you are, for example Step 1 of 5. Tap Skip setup at any time to go straight into the app, and Back to return to an earlier step.

The steps

1. Your profile: add a profile photo, a Display name and a Bio. Keep your profile photo non-explicit, because it's shown next to everything you post. You can also add Photos on your profile (optional): pick several at once, and mark any with nudity so they're blurred for other members. Tap Continue.
2. Links & socials: your website, other links, and where else people can find you. All optional: tap Skip or Continue.
3. Notifications: tap Turn on for push notifications on this device, and choose which emails you'd like. See Install the app and turn on notifications and Email preferences.
4. Get the app (phones only): put CageCheck on your home screen. On iPhone and iPad this step comes before Notifications, because iPhone only allows notifications for apps on the Home Screen. You won't see it if CageCheck is already installed.
5. Invite your friends: share your invite link or send email invitations. See Invite friends.
6. You're all set: a few good places to start, and Go to CageCheck.

On a computer there's no Get the app step, so the guide has 5 steps instead of 6.

Where to start

The last step suggests what to do first:

• Locked members: Start tracking a lock and Find a keyholder.
• Keyholders: Find someone to hold.
• Everyone: Say hello, to introduce yourself in the community feed.
• If your ID isn't verified yet: Verify your ID, which you need to go live, join a live on camera, and make video calls. See Verify your ID.

Run it again

You can go through the guide again whenever you like:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Run the setup guide again → near the top.

Everything you change in the guide can also be changed later in Settings.
