# Settings at a glance

> Every row on Fregata Mobile's Settings tab — what it's for, whether it changes this iPhone or the whole server, and the page that explains it.

The **Settings** tab is arranged by who a change affects. The first section is about your server,
and a couple of its rows change things for everyone who uses it. Everything below it changes this
iPhone only.

_Picture: The Settings tab, from the Server section at the top to the version number at the bottom._

1. **Server**: the server you're looking at. With several servers, the section takes the server's name, and the server button at the top left picks which one.
2. **Notifications on This iPhone**: which alerts reach this iPhone, and how they look and sound.
3. **Live Activities**: which cameras' alerts stay on the Lock Screen while they're happening.
4. **Appearance**: dark, light, or following the iPhone.
5. **Automation**: Siri, Shortcuts, Focus and Control Center.
6. **Help & Troubleshooting**: what has arrived, what's wrong, and how to ask for help.

## Appearance

Fregata Mobile is dark to begin with: a dark app is easier to read at night, which is when cameras
matter most. **Appearance** switches it to **Light**, or to **Automatic** to follow your iPhone's
own setting. It's this iPhone's alone, and isn't synced.
