The [Ring app](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/204384784-Downloading-and-Updating-the-Ring-App) is centric in your Ring Ecosystem, so knowing what features are available and how to access them will help you get the most out of your Ring of Security. This Ring App Map will take you sightseeing to some of the most common sections in the Ring app’s **Main Menu** and to the features you can find in them. **Note*:* Some features are only available in your app if you have select devices. ![Image from iOS (6)|473x500, 50%](upload://b5dNw32UOsTI4Tb3afqOxej1iTb.jpeg) ![Image from iOS (11)|231x500, 75%](upload://38M49Bu0fMNU1Nbozks8OU5jCbQ.jpeg) First stop, the **Devices** section. From here you can see an overview of all the Devices you have connected to your Ring app for your [Location](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005039983). Once you’ve selected the Device you want to address and depending on the device you have, you can adjust or review the following options: * [Motion Settings](https://community.ring.com/t/feature-update-customizable-motion-zones-for-battery-devices/13965) * [Linked Devices](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033904271-Linking-your-Ring-devices-together-for-enhanced-security-) * Device Settings ([Notifications](https://community.ring.com/t/ring-app-rich-notifications/13805), [Internal Doorbell Settings](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/212207763-Disabling-Your-In-Home-Doorbell-Chime-on-a-Ring-Pro), [Privacy Settings](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027979331-Understanding-Privacy-Zones)) * Device Health ([RSSI](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-your-ring-device-rssi-good-vs-poor/229) and [Changing/Reconnecting to WiFi](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034825092-How-to-Reconnect-Your-Ring-Device-to-Wifi-or-Change-Your-Wifi-Network)). ![Image from iOS (8)|231x500, 75%](upload://4tVFzugG9MlzJ97zBVfIa2LKIxg.jpeg) ![Image from iOS (7)|231x500, 75%](upload://o7BOTC32Q4fAYGCOkV1cKzR71fg.jpeg) The next place to visit from the main menu is the **Settings** section. This is where you can do things like * [Change your address](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000817263-Updating-or-Correcting-Your-Address-in-the-Ring-App) * [Manage Locations](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005039983) * View your [Monitoring Status](https://community.ring.com/t/how-to-switch-alarm-to-self-monitoring/183) for the Ring Alarm * Customize your [Dashboard Shortcuts](https://community.ring.com/t/using-ring-app-shortcut-tiles/10809) * Configure your [Mode Settings](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-your-Ring-Cameras-with-Modes). ![Image from iOS (10)|231x500, 75%](upload://z0eFvv413qWpDaX7AybEBVjJeyX.jpeg) Another landmark is the **Account** section. This is where account information such as your [Email](https://community.ring.com/t/how-to-update-your-ring-account-email-address/8954) and [Password](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018709231-How-Do-I-Change-my-Password-in-the-Ring-App-) can be changed. You can also chose what type of [Two-Step Verification method](https://community.ring.com/t/how-to-ring-account-security/4284#M2761) works best for you. Even linking your [Amazon Account](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034187232-Linking-Your-Ring-Account-to-Your-Amazon-Account) can be done in this menu! ![Image from iOS (9)|231x500, 75%](upload://7umZm2y1tGZk6GTwnEfeRXrzCVl.jpeg) Lastly, don't forget to visit the [**Control Center**](https://community.ring.com/t/ring-app-update-control-center/3437)*.* Here you can view and control important privacy and security settings.

    Tom: thanks for the map it is useful, but, i find it painful having to trudge back through the various pages to the dashboard every time i delve into the options in the app. Is it possible to consider a dedicated button that takes the user straight back to the dashboard from whatever area of the app they are currently using, a ‘Home button’ for want of a better name? Thanks.

      Hi @Johnyhicks. This is a great suggestion! I will pass this feedback along to the appropriate team. It would be great for you to highlight this in our [Feature Request Board](https://community.ring.com/c/products/24). :smiley:
