Hello, I incorrectly set my hometown by mistake when creating my Wayfarer account. I know you can’t change that when it’s set but I was wondering if there’s still a way to change that to my actual hometown. Thank you!

Just go to your settings, there is an edit button there…

Hello and welcome @snack1905 I shall move this to technical support area. So that staff can consider your request

The edit button for “Hometown Location” should be grayed out for most users. It is normally not possible for most to reset their hometown themselves. There have been times when it was made available, but that is not the case for most wayfarers.

Hey @snack1905 ,

Welcome to Wayfarer.

I have reset your Hometown as a one time exception. You should be able to set it to a location of your choice.

Best,

Wrong Hometown Set
