Just tap the box for an item and it brings up the keypad

What we can do here in the "About" section when we scroll to the top of the screen is tap where it says "Public"
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
39
Scroll down to see what everyone else will see when "Location" is also "Public"

Whereas for "Contact" details, it says on the right-hand side, "Contacts only" with a little picture of the contacts book again
