Change your name and animal avatar

1. Open the “Profile” tab

   Open Gather on your iPhone or iPad and tap “Profile” at the bottom.

2. Change your name

   Tap the “Name” field and type your new name, up to 24 characters. It’s saved when you confirm or leave the tab.

3. Pick an avatar

   Tap one of the eight animals: fox, owl, bear, cat, frog, panda, lion or whale. Your choice is saved right away.

4. Shown in your next room

   Your name and avatar apply from the next time you join. In a room you’re already in, your previous name stays.

In a browser

In a browser, you pick your name and avatar on the join page. The browser remembers both and fills them in for the next room – just change them there before tapping “Join”.

On Apple TV

Apple TV has no player profile, since everyone plays on their phone. The TV’s name sits at the top of the home screen; select it and use “Name of this TV” to change how it appears on iPhones on your Wi‑Fi.

Tips

• If someone in the room already has your name, Gather adds a number, such as “Anna 2”.
• With the iCloud sync switch in your profile turned on, your name carries over to all your devices signed in with the same Apple ID.
