Who can see my profile and my school?

Your profile and public uploads are visible to other students. You control who can see your school and whether each upload is public.

Updated 9 October 2026

Your profile

Your username, display name, bio and public uploads are visible to other Knowunity users. There is no setting that hides the whole profile. If you do not want to be found, you can use a username that does not contain your real name.

Your school

You decide who can see which school you attend.

  1. Open your profile and tap the gear icon to open Settings.
  2. Tap Account settings, then School privacy.
  3. Choose Only me, My friends only, My school only or My friends and school.

Your uploads and folders

Each upload has a Make public switch in its settings. Private uploads are only visible to you. Folders you create are private unless you share them. See How do I make my content private?

Younger users

Accounts below the minimum age for a public profile have no display name and cannot be messaged.
