Private diary entries are stored securely within your personal My Diary section on TalkLife. These posts are only visible to you and are not shared on any public feeds or displayed on your main profile page.

If you’re looking to access your private entries, you can do so by following these steps:

  • Tap on your profile photo from the main landing page to open your profile
  • Look just below your bio/profile photo section for My Diary
  • Tap on My Diary to view all of your private entries


If you’d like to change the privacy of your post (for example, move it to or from your private Diary):

  • Open the post
  • Tap the three dots in the top right-hand corner
  • Select Edit this post
  • Use the toggle in the top left corner to switch between Public and Private: My Diary

Once you’ve made your changes, tap on 'Post' and your post will be updated accordingly.


Anything you’ve posted as private will automatically appear here. This space is designed to give you a more personal area to reflect and write without sharing publicly. If you can’t see a post on your profile or in feeds, it’s likely because it was saved as a private diary entry—so checking your Diary section is the best place to find it.

To move posts from your My Diary section on TalkLife to the main/public feeds, go to the private post and tap on Share (bottom left on the post) to do this.
