Common questions
I can't sign in / my account
I can't sign in
StatusMela signs you in with Google. Pick the same Google account you used before; a different one makes a new, empty account. If the app says your account is suspended, you can appeal from that screen.
How do I change my name, photo or username?
Open your profile and tap Edit profile. You can change your name, username, photo, cover banner and bio there.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings → Delete account. Your account is deleted after 30 days.
Posts & feed
Why was my post removed?
Posts that go against our Community Guidelines are removed. Settings → Account status shows what was removed and why, and you can appeal from there if you think we got it wrong.
Why are my posts getting fewer views?
Views go up and down with what people are watching. Posting in your language, picking the right category and adding a few hashtags helps. If staff limited the reach of a post or your account, Settings → Account status shows it, and you can appeal.
Contests & prizes
How do I claim my prize?
Open Settings → My prizes and claim it before the deadline shown there. We send the prize after checking the entry follows the contest rules.
