• E.g., under your Level 50 badge: "Mastery achieved through 6 months of daily learning"

Private vs. public badges:

• Keep your full badge collection private in Settings > Privacy
• Only show specific badges publicly
• Useful if you want to control what's visible on your profile

Badge didn't unlock when I hit the requirement:

• Give the app a moment to sync (close and reopen)
• Go to Settings > Account > Sync to force immediate sync
• Check the exact requirement—might have additional criteria

My badge disappeared:

• Badges don't disappear once unlocked
• Check your full badge list (might be using a filter)
• The badge is still in your history even if unpinned

Can't share a badge:

• Ensure the badge is unlocked (not grayed out)
• Check if sharing is enabled in your privacy settings
• Some organizational accounts restrict sharing

Leaderboard badge shows wrong rank:

• Leaderboard badges reflect historical achievements
• If you were top 10 last month but not this month, you still have the badge but might not be top 10 now
• Badges are permanent even if current rank drops

How do I hide a badge from my profile?

• Go to Profile > Badge Settings
• Tap the eye icon or settings on the badge to hide it
• Hidden badges don't appear on your public profile but still count toward your total
