# Account and recording settings

The **Account** tab holds you, your recording preferences, and the way out.

## Your profile

Your name and the email you signed in with, at the top. To change them, use the [Porter web app](https://app.distance.so).

## Digests

Opens your [daily and weekly digests](/docs/digests.md).

## Recording settings

These three live on **this phone**. They are yours, not your workspace's, and they do not follow you to another device.

### End after silence

How long Porter waits in silence before asking whether you are still talking. **2 min**, **5 min** (default) or **10 min**. Full detail in [When Porter stops on its own](/docs/recording-a-visit/auto-end-on-silence.md).

### Audio quality

| Setting                | Bitrate      | Longest single recording |
| ---------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------ |
| **Standard** (default) | 32 kbps mono | About 4½ hours           |
| **Higher**             | 64 kbps mono | About 2¼ hours           |

Standard is genuinely fine for a conversation in a room, and it is the setting that lets a long appointment fit in one recording. Choose Higher for difficult acoustics — a noisy site, a large room, a quiet speaker.

### Delete local audio after upload

Off by default. When it is off, Porter keeps the local copy of a recording for **7 days** after it uploads, then removes it, so support can recover an original if something goes wrong.

Turn it on if you are short of storage. Porter then deletes the local file the moment the server confirms it has the recording — never before.

## Log out

Signs you out of this device only.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Logging out does not send or delete recordings still waiting to upload. They stay on this device. If anything is queued, stay signed in until it has gone — see [Where your recording goes](/docs/porter-for-team-members/record-an-in-person-visit/where-your-recording-goes.md).
{% endhint %}

Logging out also does not end your session anywhere else.

## Legal

**Terms of Service** and **Privacy Policy** open in your browser.

## Account deletion

**Delete account** opens a request form on the web.

It is a link, and only a link. Tapping it deletes nothing by itself, and a recording still waiting to upload stays on this device. Deletion is handled by the team on the other end of that form.

## Open Porter on the web

Everything the mobile app does not do — creating accounts, managing your workspace, reporting — is in the [web app](https://app.distance.so).
