### Account Settings Options

Once the account settings menu is open, users will see the following options:

* **Set a Status:** Update your availability or share a status message with your team.
* **Change Profile Photo:** Upload a new profile picture to personalize your account. This will change the profile photo within your domain account as well.
* **Preferences:** Customize notification settings, themes, and other app preferences.
* **View Profile:** See your profile details, such as your contact information. This will redirect users to the web browser.
* **Open in Browser:** Access MangoApps in your web browser for additional features.
* **Manage This Domain:** <mark style="color:red;">**(Admin only)**</mark> Configure domain-wide settings if you are an administrator. This will redirect the admin user to the web browser.
* **Sign Out:** Log out of your Messenger account. This will **not** log a user out of their browser session.

### Setting a Status

MangoApps Messenger allows users to set a status, either by choosing a pre-created option or creating a custom one with an optional expiration time.

**To set your status:**

Click the dropdown menu to view your current status or set a new one.

Set an expiration time (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, Today, or This week) then click **Save** to confirm.

**Do Not Disturb (DND):** Toggle on to mute notifications temporarily, until the status is cleared, or DND is toggled off.

{% hint style="info" %}
Once expired, your status will reset to **blank**.
{% endhint %}

After a status has been set, users will gain the additional status option **Clear Status**. This option will remove your current status.
