Status and Visibility

Please use shortcuts below to quickly find specific topic.

• Setting Location
• Setting profile picture (avatar)

Set your status and let your friends know about your mood right
from W@Y main screen. Touch anywhere in "status bar" and the following
screen will open:

As you can see there are few things you can quickly set. The first one is
your "status", representing what you are currently available for.
Choose between four predefined statuses:

Probably neither of statuses need specific explanation - as they speak for themselves -
except for "invisible". The latter will make you invisible (including your status,
position and eventual taglines) to anyone having you in friend list. You will still
be able to see recent information from any friends (except of course those who pick
similar tactics of dipping into corn).

Let us say you decide to be visible and your location known. In such case
you have the opportunity to let modern technology work for you and tell others
where exactly you are (OK, or at least inside within declared 20 meters accuracy
when using GPS in ideal conditions) or to define and set your own position
which remains fixed while you say so - by choosing one of defined locations.

To let your location be determined (when possible) by GPS system, check the
"Determine by GPS" check box beside location.

If you have any locations created by you or someone from groups which you are member of,
a button beside "... or set as" will allow you choose between those.

When your location is known, either via GPS or fixed location with valid coordinates,
lower half of the screen will show distance from other available locations:

And so finally having your status set, it could display like following on
W@Y's main screen (being set to fixed location on first and GPS on second image):

A note about GPS altitude; it is shown for information and fun, but until
recognized as "valid" from GPS subsystem in your device, it will remain empty.
Altitude being "valid" is somewhat relative so please do not fly airplanes using
this information provided by W@Y...

To make your appearance to your friends a bit more impressionable,
and to take care they do not think you are someone else, you may want
to put a photo or very special image of yours beside your information.
You can of course do that just to make your status look cooler, also. ;-)

You can set your profile picture (or avatar, whatever you like) via two
"directions": from W@Y main menu, selecting Settings->Preferences, and
then while editing Settings clik on "Picture" button;
or just long-touch rightmost area of your status on main screen, where the image
should appear after chosen.

Decide how you like to set your picture. Either take a camera shot, or choose
some of pictures from the gallery on your device.

No matter how you get your picture into your avatar area, you will get notified
about upload attempt and as soon as possible W@Y will share your shiny new face
with the rest of the world. The picture you set will appear in your friends'
friends list.

Of course you can replace or remove your profile picture using the same methods
at any time desired.
