Updating your profile and account settings

1 MIN READ ยท UPDATED 1 AUG 2026

Your account settings control what other users see about you, and how UK Junction contacts you.

Updating your profile

Go to Account settings โ†’ Profile to update your display name, profile photo, phone number, location and bio. Your display name is shown publicly instead of your full name.

Changing your password

Go to Account settings โ†’ Security to change your password. Your sign-in email address cannot be changed from account settings.

Notification preferences

Under Account settings โ†’ Notifications, you can turn each notification type on or off individually: new messages, saved search matches, price drops on saved listings, and marketing updates. New messages, saved search matches, and price drops are on by default; marketing updates are off by default.

What's shown about your location

Tip: UK Junction never shows your exact address publicly, only an approximate location such as your town or postcode area, derived from what you enter or your IP address for local search. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Deactivating or deleting your account

Deactivating temporarily hides your profile and listings, you can reactivate any time by signing back in. Deleting your account is permanent and removes your profile and message history. Both options are available under Account settings โ†’ Danger zone.
