How does photo verification work?
You take a selfie copying a pose we show you. A person on our team compares it with your profile photos. If they match, you get a verified badge. Your selfie is private and deleted after the decision.
Steps
- Open the Profile tab, then tap the pencil icon for Edit profile.
- Tap Verify your profile, then Get verified.
- You need at least one profile photo where only you are in the picture and your face is clearly visible. If you don't have one yet, the app asks you to add one first.
- If your account has no confirmed phone number yet, you'll confirm one first.
- Copy the pose on screen and take a selfie with your camera.
- Tap Submit for review. You'll see Verification in review until a person has checked it.
Good to know
- Verification is free.
- The selfie is only used for this check. Other members never see it. We don't use face recognition.
- We delete the selfie once a decision is made, and never later than 30 days after it.
- Your badge belongs to the photos it was given for. If you remove or replace all of them, the badge is paused until you verify again. The app warns you before you remove the last one.
- New photos you add later may be checked by our team.
- A verified badge means the photos match the person who took the selfie. It is not an ID check or a background check. Read more.
