Getting started with Options begins on your portfolio home screen or from an individual asset page.
Portfolio
When opening the app, go to the first bottom tab to access your Portfolio
Scroll down to the Options section immediately below your portfolio graph
Tap on ‘Enhance your trading strategies’. If you own options, you’ll see your positions here instead

Tap on the ‘Trade’ button
Tap on the ‘Trade options’ button
If you have not yet enabled options, you will be taken into the options onboarding flow. Prior to granting you options access, we’re required to evaluate whether various levels of options strategies are appropriate for you, based on information such as your equities & options trading experience, investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Each brokerage has the discretion to set the specific parameters for their customers and evaluate suitability for options trading. Learn more about Public’s Options Levels.
