#Questions

#Why can I not change my username?

You have used all your changes for the current 90 day window. The field is switched off and says "You changed this recently. Try again later."

#Does my email change right away?

Only after you confirm the code. The old address also gets a note that the email changed. You may be asked to sign in again afterwards.

#Where is dark mode?

In Settings > General, under Theme.

#Does the theme follow me to another device?

Yes. It is saved to your account. The Motion setting is not. It stays in the browser.

#Can I use my Google photo?

New accounts get a generated picture, and Google sign-ups may get their Google photo. Save a new photo to replace it.
