aTouchAway users using their personal devices can control some of the features and account settings in their app. An overview of those settings is found in this article.

Logout
The logout button is found at the top right corner of the app. We recommend staying logged in for the duration of your program. Logging out will prevent notifications from appearing on your screen.
Photo
You may upload a photo of yourself. This personal touch allows members of your care team to more easily recognize you. Tap the camera icon to select a photo.
You can choose to appear offline or online. We recommend selecting Online so that your care team knows when you are available to meet with them.

Choose your preferred language
This will affect the app. However, this change may not affect all resources or instructions shared through the app.

Banner Sound is the sound that will play when a notification comes up on your screen. This sound will alert you to a message or instruction from your care team. You can modify this sound by choosing your own ringtone.
Media Settings need to be configured for your device. Each device may present different options to choose from. These settings will be used for video and audio communication with your care team. If they are not correct, you may not be able to hear your contacts during calls.

Enter a new email address and / or password. Enter the email address and / or password again to confirm. Be sure to click Save in the section(s) where you updated information.
Contact Search Visibility: We recommend that you remain hidden from search. Your health care team will know how to find you. This will prevent others from finding you and connecting or contacting you.
Auto Log Out: We recommend using this if you are sharing a device. This is used mostly by health care providers and not patients or family members using their own devices.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication: For added security on your account, you may choose to enable this feature. You will be required to confirm your identity using a separate method of communication every time you log into the app.
