I know you said you figured it out but just wanted to say for others that might not be premium users this is the RM change. They created premium photo gallery that premium users can unlock 🔓 or open without asking for our permission first. Then there are the regular private photos that non premium members request us to get unlocked. I logged out of my account to see what one can do when not logged in. You should be able to see the profile and main pics without logging in. And can click the phone tab to get our contact info. If you want to chat in the RM message app then you would need to log in. Again know you said you figured it out but figured I’d add some more details in case this came up for anyone else.
