Do you complete your profile at login or explore the app first?

Social apps often need users to create a profile such as add an avatar, username, and other personalization options. What do you prefer when logging into a new social app? Do you first complete the profile setup or do you explore the app a bit before coming back to complete your profile?

Depends how complicated the profile is. If it's just an email and password, I don't mind doing it right away because then if i get distracted while exploring i know I'll get some onboarding emails later to remind me about it. But if it's a lengthy sign up form before i can try anything out, i don't love that.

@britt_joiner Thanks for sharing your views. Social apps typically require you to add additional profile information like name, avatar, phone number, etc. So, we wanted to get your view around those lines.

I would love to be able to explore the app before creating an account, but most apps require a profile before you can look at anything.
Hi @dawn_veltri1
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Social apps typically require you to add additional profile information like name, avatar, phone number, etc in addition to the login process. Since, you will potentially interact with people, an anonymous person could pose security and social threats. I will be happy to hear your thoughts on this.

I would prefer to fill in the minimum possible until I'm sure i'll get value out of the product
@iamgoconnor Thanks for responding! It's indeed a very logical thing to do.

Hi @enola_vedovotto.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. A complete profile definitely lets you put your best foot forward in a social app.

@pritam_nanda92 thank you to share your tool :)
Hmm, for some reason I have an urge to fill in all the boxes, so I tend to complete my profile. But, because of this self-imposed high barrier to setup, I sometimes end up just not signing up to things because I don't want to feel the urge to complete my profile π
Hi @jenny_sahng
I totally agree with you. Apps should give users the option to try it out to some extent before you need to fill in additional profile details (apart from email, etc) like name and photo.

I quickly fill in to start using the app quickly. Hence, I log in with Google ;) It's social login increasingly, there isn't time for anything.

Obviously, explore the app. If it is user-friendly, only then fill out the profile. First impression matters

I would like for more apps to allow us to firstly explore them and after that, if we like them let us sign up. The other way around doesn't feel that good. You give information for a product you might not use.

Exploring the app before login in is something good that the user feels good about. If it is trusted and I have experienced the flow then it will be easy to login!
I would like to explore it first with minimum data.
It depends on the day really.
