Can I hide my balance or portfolio value in the Pluang app?
Yes, on screens that show an eye icon next to a balance, you can tap the icon to hide or show the figures on that screen. The eye icon is a display toggle: hiding a balance only masks the numbers on your screen, and your balance, holdings and orders stay exactly the same. For example, the Crypto Staking page has an eye icon that hides or shows all balances and quantities on that page, and on Pluang Web Trading you can hide your Buying Power on the Trade Page, which is useful when you share a screenshot of your analysis. Not every screen offers the option, so if you don't see an eye icon next to a figure, that screen doesn't have a hide setting. Hiding figures doesn't lock your account or stop anyone else from using it; to protect your account itself, keep your PIN and login details private and use the security features in the app, such as authenticator-based verification.
What hiding does and doesn't do
| Hiding a balance with the eye icon | |
|---|---|
| Masks the figures on that screen | Yes |
| Changes your balance, holdings or orders | No |
| Stops transactions or protects your account | No |
| Can be switched back at any time | Yes, tap the eye icon again |
- Useful before sharing a screenshot. Hiding the numbers lets you share a chart, an order setup or your analysis without revealing how much you hold.
- It applies to the screen you are on. Where it is available, the toggle works on that screen's figures, so check the other screens you plan to capture as well.
- Account security is separate. Keeping your account safe depends on your PIN, your login details and the app's security features, not on whether figures are hidden on screen.

Q: Does hiding my balance change anything in my account?
No. The eye icon only changes what is displayed on your screen. Your balance, the assets you hold, your open orders and your profit and loss all stay exactly the same, and nothing is bought, sold or moved. When you tap the icon again, the figures reappear unchanged. It is purely a privacy setting for the display, useful when other people can see your screen or when you share a screenshot.
Q: Can I hide my Buying Power on Pluang Web Trading?
Yes. On Pluang Web Trading, you can hide and unhide your Buying Power using the icon next to it on the Trade Page's top bar. This lets you share screenshots of your charts or analysis without showing how much you have available to trade. Hiding it doesn't change your Buying Power or affect any order you place; it only masks the number on your screen until you choose to show it again.
Q: Why can't I find an eye icon on some screens?
Because the option to hide figures is only available on screens that include the eye icon. If a screen doesn't show one, it doesn't offer a hide setting for its figures. Where you want to keep numbers private, for example before sharing a screenshot, you can use a screen that has the toggle, or crop the numbers out of the image before you share it.
Q: Does hiding my balance keep my account secure?
Not on its own. Hiding balances protects your figures from being seen on screen, but it doesn't stop anyone who has access to your phone and PIN from using your account. Your account's security depends on keeping your PIN and login details private and on the security features in the Pluang app, such as authenticator-based verification.
