+## Hiding images by default
+
+In public rooms, sometimes people post inappropriate content, including images
+you don't want to see. Hopefully a room's moderators will tidy things up quite
+quickly, but many people prefer to make images in public rooms hidden, allowing
+them to show individual images when they are ready.
+
+### In Element
+
+In Element, you can hide images in public rooms in Settings.

+Choose Preferences, and scroll down to Moderation and safety. Click "In private
+rooms" under "Show media in timeline".
+

+
+Now images will be hidden by default. You can make them visible by clicking on
+"Show image".

+
+You can re-hide them by choosing the "eye" icon when you hover over the image.
