Disclaimer: This guide refers to using the Element Matrix clients, Element Web or Element Desktop apps

Accessing Security & Privacy Settings

You can change your Matrix account settings by clicking your profile icon in the top left of the Element client. By default, this will be a coloured circle with the first letter of your Matrix ID. From the presented drop-down menu, you'll be able to jump into specific settings straight away, or access All Settings. Clicking All Settings will take you first to General settings, click Security & Privacy in the vertical navigation menu on the left to open Security & Privacy settings.

Info: The below setting layout / order may change in subsequent client updates, however generally most settings will still perform the same function.
