How to read this page
Settings live in three groups so the screen doesn't overwhelm you:
- Default: always visible. The handful of toggles most people use.
- Advanced: hidden behind the Advanced expander. Open it once and the extra rows appear.
- Developer: admin-only. You won't see these in a normal install.
The most-touched controls are at the top of each table; advanced and one-off rows are below. If you only have a minute, read Profile & account, Appearance, and Notifications — the rest is opt-in.

Note: Pattern nudges are listed below under Personalization because that's where they live in the app — they're an AI feature, not a notification setting.

Vibration
Also lives inside More settings, just below Personalization. Was previously called Haptic feedback and sat near the top of Settings; it moved here in May 2026 because it's a set-and-forget control most people only touch once.
