Settings overview
Open the menu ☰ and tap Settings. Settings are about the app itself — how it looks and behaves for you. How a list is organised lives under Manage instead; see Manage overview.
Most settings follow your account: change the theme on your phone and your tablet follows. What stays on each device is noted below.

Images
Section titled “Images”- Image size - width and height (pixels) — photos are scaled down to this on the longest side before upload. Starts at 1080; smaller means faster.
- Square Images — crop every photo to a square.
- Disable Images — hides photos everywhere, on every device you’re signed in on. Nothing is deleted; switch it off and they’re back. Handy on a slow connection.
Adding photos is a Premium feature; these settings are for everyone. See Free vs Premium.

What’s per device
Section titled “What’s per device”Three kinds of choice stay on the device you make them on: the grouping buttons in the toolbar (categories, storage places, stores), which list you’re looking at, and the last-used category and storage place that new items are pre-filled with. Everything in Settings, and everything under ⋮ → View Options, follows your account.
