This question is similar to the closed topic [User preference for default home page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-preference-for-default-home-page/74171), but it’s still not clear to me. I originally set the default home page to Categories, by placing it first in the list. If I now (two months later) change the default to Latest, what will happen? I can see two possibilities:
1. Everyone who has not explicitly set their User Preferences currently has a null, or empty setting, so they will see the new default setting of Latest.
2. Everyone’s User Preferences were filled with Categories- the default at signup time- so they will still see Categories. Changing the default now will only affect new users in the future.
Which one is it?

Until we get a better answer, I can only tell that I think everyone who did not change their settings or whose settings were same as site default, will see their settings changes to new site default (your option 1.).
Because I never touched my settings and used to see **Latest** but [when site default went from **Latest** to **Categories**](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/suggestion-change-default-page-to-category-view/414787?u=jesus2099), my personal settings were set to **Categories** , I had to manually go back to **Latest**.
