MeWe Tips
- If you don't want to view MeWe notifications
on your mobile device or computer, you may turn them off.
- You can lock down your MeWe profile by
accessing the settings and privacy page, choosing Privacy
and Safety, and ticking the "Protect your Posts" box
if you want to be able to restrict who follows you and prohibit followers
from Sharing (or quoting) you.
- Sharing simply text-based content is less
likely to drive engagement than posting visual items (e.g., photos and
videos).
- You can also use numerous post-scheduling
services to schedule Posts.
- You can only contact MeWe via chat or the
site's help center if you need to contact them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I delete my own posts?
Find the
undesirable Post. A dropdown menu will show when you click or tap on the
ellipsis icon (the three dots...). There is an option to "Delete Post"
there.
How do I tag someone on MeWe?
If you
know their MeWe username (which starts with the @symbol), you can include it
anywhere in a Post and it will be recognized as a mention.
If you
start your Post with @username, only MeWe users who follow both of you will see
it on their feed.
If you
place it anywhere else, it will become a public Post that all your followers
will be able to see.
How do I post a post on another person's account?
You can't
do that. If you want them to see what you write, you can share whatever they
posted and add a comment. @username can be written at the start of your Post.
What is the purpose of the heart icon on MeWe?
You can
"like" other people's posts by clicking the heart icon. The Post is
added to your "Likes" list when you click on it.
Can I change my name on MeWe?
Yes, go
to Settings after clicking on your MeWe profile picture on the computer. Your
username is the first element you can change. If you wish to modify your screen
name, go to your MeWe profile and click on "View Profile" after
clicking on your MeWe profile image. Then select "Edit Profile" from
the drop-down menu. You may now customize your MeWe profile by changing your
name, MeWe profile photo, and header, among other things.
How much can I post a Post in one day?
You can
post as many posts as you like in a day, or as few as you want. The question is
how much your audience can take.
If you
bother them too much, they will unfollow you because you are obstructing their
stream.
If you
post too little, they'll assume you've lost interest and will unfollow you.
Depending
on what your Post is all about, who your followers are, and who you are, you'll
need to strike the proper balance.
Can I sign up for and use MeWe using a computer without a smartphone?
You
absolutely can. Go to the MeWe website and follow the on-screen instructions to
join. After that, you can use MeWe on your computer with ease.
How do I respond to a Post?
Just at the bottom of the Post, click or tap the curved arrow which will bring up a
conversation window with a text box for you to respond to.
How do I get MeWe Notifications?
Visit the MeWe profile of the user from whom you want to get Notifications. There will be a button (on mobile, it will be a star) next to the "Follow" button (usually to the left) that you may hit to receive Notifications every time the user posts a Post.
