Truth Social: After logging in now what to do? The in-depth unofficial help page for commonly accessed information and questions
Before you start using your Truth Social account you should know a few things and you should also take a look around. We will also answer some questions like how can I change my email? How can I change my password? Can I keep my truths only available to those who follow me? Can I change my username?
Truth social has some help pages although the information seems to be lacking so I decided to create a more in-depth unofficial help page for commonly accessed information.
Let’s start exploring:
After you have entered your login credentials it may take a while for you to login as seen in the screenshot below. It will then say loading for a few seconds.
Loading…. (Note: While it is loading you may not see your avatar as seen in the image below.
Once you’re logged in and everything is loaded let’s go ahead and explore this screen. We will be using the image below as we explore the top and the bottom.
Top part
At the very top where you see “truth” toward the center that’s called us to top navigation, you’ll also see in the upper left-hand corner your profile image or also known as avatar.
Below where it says “truth” you see the white T, that is the account who posted the truth, next is the name, under that is the @name, then we see a check-mark this means the account has been verified, and on the right-side we see 2d, this is how old the truth is.
Bottom part
See where it says “604” that is the number of comments, next is the two arrows is the number of re-truths, hart if the number of people who like it and what looks like a U with an arrow pointing up is this your pop-up menu for sharing on other platforms including sharing by text, email. This menu is by your device not the social media app.
In screenshot above you see feed (your on that now), search, alerts and messages.
Right above the four items that I just mentioned you see a large where is circle with a pencil that is to send a truth out
In the large space is the feed area you can do you see the feed that you have.
A little more on the search, alerts and messages:
The Search page will allow you to type in someone’s name or part of it. i.e. WQY will bring up WQYU and anyone else who matches part or the full name.
The Alerts page will show you any alerts that you received.
The Messages will show you any messages that you received.
The menu:
Tapping on your avatar will reveal a menu, on the menu we will work our way from top to bottom.
On the left-hand corner toward the top we see our avatar, next to the avatar, display name followed by the username, right below this we see the number of followers and adjacent to that is the people who you are following.
If you tap on Followers, this will show you who is following you and if you tap on Following, this will show you who are you following.
Below the followers and following we see profile, blocks, mute, security and preferences and then log out.
Let’s go ahead and explore profile, so please tap on “profile” to see your profile.
On your profile you will see a background image if you chose to have one comment right below your background image you’ll see your avatar, blow your avatar you will see an icon that looks like an arrow coming out of a box that is to share your profile URL on other social media platforms including email, text message.
We also see the number of followers followed by how many people you’re following below that we see what date you joined and below that we see Truths which is similar to tweet, next to that we see Truths and Replies which is similar to tweets and replies and last media.
From your profile as seen in the screenshot above, tap on the arrow on the top-left-hand corner then tap on your avatar to show the menu again.
Now we see profile (we just tapped on that), below we see blocks and mutes. I won’t be showing any screenshots of blocks and mutes as both are pretty straightforward however I will cover them briefly.
Blocks: If you tap on blocks, this is a list of accounts that you have chosen to block. In the upper left hand corner to go back to the menu click on the arrow, then click on your avatar to see the menu again.
Mutes: If you tap on mutes, this is a list of accounts that you have chosen to mute. In the upper left hand corner to go back to the menu click on the arrow, then click on your avatar to see the menu again.
Security and Preferences
Tapping on security and preferences displays a new page, I will not be showing a screenshot for each as most of the items on this page is pretty straightforward however I will cover them briefly.
Under the category security:
Change email: If you tap on change email, the next page will reveal the form to enter your new email address that you wish to use and you’ll need to type your password to confirm.
Change password: If you tap on change password, the next screen will reveal the change password page in which you will need to enter your current password that you were currently using and he will then need to enter your new password. According to the change password page the password must be a minimum of eight characters, one capital letter and one lowercase

What is the difference between mute and block?
Mute: If you chose to mute someone this will not block them as they will still be able to see what your truths and re-truths and they will be able to send you a message. What this does, this just make it so you won’t be noticed when they post a truth and re-truths something.
