# FAQ
97+
98+
## Why should I upload a profile photo?
99+
Your photo helps teammates identify you easily in chats, reports, and notifications.
100+
101+
## Will changing my language affect reports?
102+
No. It only changes the language of your user interface—not the content of your reports.
103+

105+
Yes. Go to **Account > Preferences** and toggle off both update and sound notifications.
106+
107+
## Will theme preferences sync across devices?
108+
Yes. Your chosen theme applies across web, mobile, and desktop versions of Expensify.

## Can I set a permanent status message?
111+
Yes. After entering your status, choose **Never** under “Clear After” to keep it active indefinitely.
112+
113+
## Why should I add my legal name and address?
114+
These details are used for things like booking travel or receiving payments and help verify your identity when needed.

# Troubleshooting: Can’t Close Your Account?
22+
23+
If you're unable to close your account, it’s likely due to one of the following reasons:
24+
25+
- **You're under a validated domain**: A Domain Admin must remove you from the domain.
26+
- **You're the only Domain Admin**: Assign a new Domain Admin before proceeding.
27+
- **You're the billing owner on an annual subscription**: Downgrade or transfer billing to another user first.
28+
- **You're a workspace owner**: Assign a new owner to the workspace.
29+
- **Outstanding balance**: Settle any unpaid invoices.
30+
- **You're the Preferred Exporter for an integration**: Assign a new Preferred Exporter before closing.
31+
- **Your verified business account is locked**: Resolve the lock by contacting support.
32+
- **Your verified business account has a balance due**: Make a payment to continue.
33+
- **Your account is unverified**: You must verify the account before it can be closed.
34+
35+
If you're still having trouble, reach out to **Concierge** for additional assistance.
