How do I "enable relationship viewing"

I received the following message:

"It would be nice to see how we are related as we work together on our shared family tree.

Please go to FamilySearch settings and enable relationship viewing, so we can see how we are related."

I have no idea how to do this. I finally found my account settings, but I don't see anything that seems to relate to this. Can somebody help me figure out what I'm missing? Thank you!

    Just be aware that enabling relationship viewing is a universal setting to all FamilySearch users and not just to the specific individual you are responding to.

    “When you enable relationship viewing you agree to allow other users to see certain aspects of your account:

    •   their relationship to you
    •  your profile (this can be edited in settings) 
    •  your portrait photo in Family Tree, if available
    •  any shared ancestors
    •  Important: Information about living individuals in your tree is NOT visible to other users as part of relationship viewing.
    •   The relationship information is available when another user clicks your profile in Family Tree or Memories. An option to view the relationship is displayed, along with the contact details."
