Watch-only mode is an optional feature that allows you to log in to a Blockstream wallet with limited permissions.

> **Tip:** Watch-only wallets can be particularly useful when used with your [Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade), as you can still receive funds without needing your Jade device with you.

1.

Log in to the Blockstream app and tap **Settings**.

> **Note:** Watch-only mode only allows you to view the wallet it was set up for, so you will need to set up watch-only mode for each of your wallets separately.
