The settings screen is where you can manage your account settings.

Personal details

Here you can change your account email and, if you registered directly (not using Google or Apple), update your password.

General

Here you can configure general game settings.

Alerts

Here you can toggle various alerts on or off. For extortion, you can set the minimum amount the extortion must be to receive an alert.

Push notifications

Push notifications keep you informed about what's going on in Gangster Nation while you don't have the app open, for example if someone messages you or if you're killed.

iOS app

You can use this area to choose which types of notification to receive.

Android app

You can use this area to check push notifications have been successfully registered. To choose which types of notification to receive, or to turn them off altogether, open your device's Settings app and look for your notification settings.

Feature blocks

Here you can self-block yourself from various features for a period of time, generally casino features.

Any blocks applied here are for your account rather than your current character. The blocks cannot be removed by a game administrator, so think carefully before applying a block.

Blocks

This area lets you view any existing blocks you have against other players. You can unblock any of the players you have blocked from this page.

Hidden gangsters

Your history of previous gangsters is private (unless you choose to reveal it) but some players may ask you to provide screenshots or even screen recordings of your history. To counteract this, you can use the "Hidden gangsters" settings to hide any number of gangsters from your history for one hour, enough time to take a screenshot or even screen recording which only shows the names you want someone to see.

After the feature is enabled, there's no way to reverse it or see how long is left because someone may ask you to provide a screenshot or screen recording of this area; it will be as though the selected gangsters never belonged to your account.

The full changes made for hidden gangsters are:

• They will no longer appear on this Settings screen.
• They will no longer appear on the History tab of the Overview screen.
• They will no longer appear as an option when looking at feature stats for previous gangsters.
• When viewing the profile of one of these gangsters, the kill tab won't show any unrevealed kills.

Note: This action doesn't remove the selected previous gangsters from the public history of any of your gangsters. To do this you should unreveal the gangsters from your public history first.

Hideout mode

You can use hideout mode to protect your gangster while on vacation or as a game tactic. While in hideout mode your gangster is protected from being killed but you'll be unable to access the game. There is no way to leave hideout mode once this is activated, the game administrators will not be able to remove you from hideout. After entering the hideout, you'll be presented with a screen displaying the amount of time remaining.

The following restrictions apply to using hideout mode:

• You can only enter once per round.
• The minimum duration is 1 day.
• The maximum duration is 3 days.
• You must be out of protection.
• You cannot enter during Deathmatch.
• You cannot enter within 48 hours of making a non-backfire kill.
• You cannot enter while protecting property.
• You cannot enter as the Boss or Underboss of a family.
• You cannot receive gifts while in hideout.
• You cannot be mentored while in hideout.
