Privacy controls

Control who can see your profile, who can message you, and whether you appear in search.

EveryoneUpdated June 11, 2026

Waypoint enforces your privacy choices server-side β€” they apply in search, the member directory, on your profile, and in messaging. Manage them under Profile β†’ Privacy.

Profile visibility

  • Public β€” anyone can view your profile.
  • Friends only β€” only accepted connections see your full profile; others see a private stub.
  • Privateβ€” your profile is hidden, and you're excluded from search and the directory.

Who can message you

Choose Anyone or Friends only. With friends-only (the default), people you haven't connected with can't open a DM. Blocked users can never message you regardless of this setting.

Search & activity

  • Searchable β€” turn off to stay out of search and the member directory while keeping your profile reachable by direct link.
  • Hide activity β€” hides your upcoming sessions on your public profile.
