Account & Profile FAQs
How do I change my profile picture?
To change your profile picture, navigate to 'Settings' by clicking on your avatar in the top right corner. Select 'Edit Profile' and then click on your current photo to upload a new one from your device. We support JPG, PNG, and GIF formats up to 5MB.
Can I make my reading list private?
Yes, privacy is a priority at Book Circle. Go to Settings > Privacy and you can toggle your account to 'Private'. This will ensure only approved friends can see your reading progress and lists.
How do I reset my password?
Book Circle uses OAuth authentication (Google/Apple Sign-In), so you don't need a password. If you're having trouble accessing your account, make sure you're using the same sign-in method you originally used to create your account.
What happens if I delete my account?
Deleting your account is permanent. All your reading history, reviews, and community connections will be removed. We recommend exporting your data first if you wish to keep a record of your books.
Reading Tracker FAQs
How do I log my reading sessions?
Simply navigate to your current book and click 'Start Reading'. Book Circle will track your session time automatically. When you're done, click 'Stop Reading' to save your progress and build your daily streak.
Can I track multiple books at once?
Absolutely! You can have multiple books in your 'Currently Reading' list. Switch between them anytime, and each will maintain its own progress tracking and reading history.
How do reading streaks work?
Reading streaks count consecutive days where you've logged at least one reading session. Maintaining your streak helps build a consistent reading habit. You'll get reminders to help you keep your streak alive!
