Yelp is much more than just a local business directory, it’s also a quasi-social media app, allowing users to meet new friends, engage in forums, get in touch with their local community, as well as customize their profile.

Yelp is not a true social media application, but if you are a frequent Yelp user and are extremely involved in the Yelp community, or want to add more personality to your Yelp profile, editing your profile allows the community to get a better idea of who you are.

You can add all types of personal information to display on your profile on Yelp, including adding new photos, a nickname, the last book you read, your favorite movie, and your favorite food.

Here’s how to edit your Yelp profile.
