val currentUser = GetSocial.getCurrentUser()
if (currentUser == null) {
    // SDK is not initialized yet
    return
}
// use currentUser object

iOS

guard let currentUser = GetSocial.currentUser() else {
    // SDK is not initialized yet
    return
}
// use currentUser object

{
    // SDK is not initialized yet
    return;

if (currentUser == null) {
    // SDK is not initialized yet
    return;

Properties Update

To update the user profile use UserUpdate class. It allows you update few user properties(custom and not) in one request:

Android

val batchUpdate = UserUpdate()
    .updateAvatarUrl(newAvatarUrl)
    .updateDisplayName(newDisplayName)
    .setPublicProperty(publicProperty1, newPublicValue)
    .removePublicProperty(publicProperty2)
    .setPrivateProperty(privateProperty1, newPrivateValue)
    .removePrivateProperty(privateProperty2)

curentUser.updateDetails(batchUpdate, {
    Log.d("CurrentUser", "User details were successfully updated")
}, { error ->
    Log.d("CurrentUser", "Failed to update user details, error: ${error}")
})

iOS

var batchUpdate = UserUpdate()
batchUpdate.avatarUrl = newAvatarUrl
batchUpdate.displayName = newDisplayName
batchUpdate.setPublicProperty(value: newPublicValue, key: publicProperty1)
batchUpdate.removePublicProperty(publicProperty2)
batchUpdate.setPrivateProperty(value: privateProperty1, forKey: newPrivateValue)
batchUpdate.removePrivateProperty(privateProperty2)

currentUser.updateDetails(batchUpdate, success: success, failure: failure)

Unity

var batchUpdate = new UserUpdate();
batchUpdate.AvatarUrl = newAvatarUrl
batchUpdate.DisplayName = newDisplayName
batchUpdate.AddPublicProperty(publicProperty1, newPublicValue);
batchUpdate.RemovePublicProperty(publicProperty2);
batchUpdate.AddPrivateProperty(newPrivateValue, privateProperty1);
batchUpdate.RemovePrivateProperty(privateProperty2);
currentUser.UpdateDetails(batchUpdate, OnSuccess, OnFailure);

Flutter

var batchUpdate = UserUpdate();
batchUpdate.updateAvatarUrl(newAvatarUrl);
batchUpdate.updateDisplayName(newDisplayName);
batchUpdate.setPublicProperty(publicProperty1, newPublicValue);
batchUpdate.removePublicProperty(publicProperty2);
batchUpdate.setPrivateProperty(newPrivateValue, privateProperty1);
batchUpdate.removePrivateProperty(privateProperty2);
var currentUser = await GetSocial.currentUser;
currentUser.updateDetails(batchUpdate);

React Native

var batchUpdate = new UserUpdate();
batchUpdate.avatarUrl = newAvatarUrl;
batchUpdate.displayName = newDisplayName;
batchUpdate.publicProperties[publicProperty1] = newPublicValue;
batchUpdate.privateProperies[newPrivateValue] = privateProperty1;
const currentUser = await GetSocial.getCurrentUser();
currentUser.updateDetails(batchUpdate);

Web

var batchUpdate = new GetSocialSDK.UserUpdate();
batchUpdate.avatarUrl = newAvatarUrl;
batchUpdate.displayName = newDisplayName;
batchUpdate.publicProperties[publicProperty1] = newPublicValue;
batchUpdate.privateProperies[newPrivateValue] = privateProperty1;
const currentUser = GetSocialSDK.GetSocial.getCurrentUser();
currentUser.updateDetails(batchUpdate);
