Blur images and hide usernames so you can safely browse the dashboard in public or shared spaces.
Discreet mode is a display-only privacy feature that reduces how much personal information is visible on screen. When enabled, profile photos and user-uploaded images are blurred throughout the dashboard and usernames are replaced with "Anonymous User."
This is useful when you need to adjust settings, check session data, or browse the dashboard in a public place, at the office, or on a shared screen.
Discreet mode is a visual filter only. It does not anonymize, delete, or modify any data in your account. Your usernames, images, and activity remain unchanged in the database.
What changes when discreet mode is on

| Toy images | Displayed normally | Blurred |
| User-uploaded photos | Displayed normally | Blurred |
| Your username | Shown as-is | Replaced with "Anonymous User" |
| Partner avatars | Displayed normally | Blurred |
| Your data | Stored in your account | Unchanged — nothing is deleted or anonymized |
