  1. Go to the My books section

  2. Tap your avatar (the round icon in the upper right corner).

  3. Select Confidentiality

  4. Tap Don’t show my bookshelves

In the Android app:

  1. Tap your avatar (the round icon in the lower right corner).

  2. Tap the settings icon in the upper left corner.

  3. Select Confidentiality

  4. Tap Don’t show my bookshelves

On the website:

  1. Click your avatar (the round icon in the upper right corner)

  2. Select Settings

  3. Select Confidentiality in the menu on the left

  4. Tap Don’t show my bookshelves

All your bookshelves will be hidden from other readers. Only you and bookshelf followers will be able to see their contents. If you want to remove your bookshelf followers, please contact our customer support.

Hide some bookshelves

On the website:

  1. Select a bookshelf

  2. Hover the cursor over the button with three dots
    Select Edit

  4. Select Private

  5. Click Save

  4. Press the padlock in the lower left corner

  5. Tap the tick icon in the upper right corner of the screen

Now you’re the only one who can see that bookshelf. If the bookshelf has followers, they’ll still be able to see its contents and any updates.
