Privacy Settings — Recognition Visibility
Give River gives you control over who can see your recognition posts. You can set the visibility of individual posts and manage your blocked users list from within the app.
Post Visibility
When you create a post, the audience picker offers three destinations:
| Visibility | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Team River | Appears on the main recognition feed for all team members. If your organization uses locations or departments, you can optionally narrow a Team River post to specific ones. |
| Select members | Shared only with the teammates you pick (they receive it directly). |
| Private | Visible only to you in your Journal. |
Changing Visibility on an Existing Post
- Open your Journal (from My River or Settings > My Journal).
- Find the post you want to change.
- Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the post card.
- Tap Make Private (if the post is currently public) or Make Public (if it is currently private).
- The feed type updates immediately.
Setting Visibility When Creating a Post
When creating a new recognition post, you can choose whether it posts publicly to the feed or is saved privately to your journal only. Refer to the New Post help article for details on the posting flow.
Blocking Users
If you want to prevent another user from interacting with you, you can block them.
How to Block a User

Blocked users cannot send you messages, view your profile, or interact with your posts.
Managing Blocked Users

Notification Privacy
You can also control which push notification types you receive for likes and comments. See the Notifications article for full details.
Reporting Users
