Notifications and account tab disappearing on iPhone using DuckDuckGo

[Popdropper]

I'm on an iPhone using duck duck go and my notifications/account tab at the top of the screen keeps disappearing, is this happening to anyone else? Can't change my username or anything as there's no icon there to click on

Hi @Popdropper

Thanks for asking about this.

We’ve noticed that some users browsing via DuckDuckGo experience issues on the site, usually things like pages not loading properly or certain features not behaving as they should.

DuckDuckGo’s browser and privacy settings can block or restrict certain scripts and content that our site relies on to function fully. Because of that, some features may not work as intended.

If you continue to experience problems, we’d suggest trying an alternative browser (such as Chrome, Safari or Firefox) to see if the issue persists. That helps us determine whether it’s browser-related. Unfortunately, though, some behaviour is outside our direct control due to the way certain privacy-focused browsers operate.

It's weird because when I have a notification it reappears, so it's there now because I had a notification from this thread! Had to stop using the site on Safari because it was making my phone get reallly hot so maybe I'll just have to pop onto safari if I want to name change and then go back to DuckDuckGo, bit of a faff though

@Popdropper no need to switch back to safari. You can access name change and notification from duckduckgo.
On the phone, go to the homepage where you have the list of all topics.
On the line Talk> talk homepage you will find on the right a down arrow. It opens a short menu where you have on the bottom lefr “customise”. It opens the settings page. Click on “more settings” down arrow and you can change name, read notifications and so on.

Thank you so much ILoveDuckDuckGo, you're a genius!

I am true to my name…. I love DuckDuckGo. I made me enjoy MN again. Macbook was overheating, fan going like crazy, was slow even when I wasn’t on MN, page freezing, losing a post I was typing and so on.
