/ Feature

A badge that means it’s you.

Verifying is optional and takes a minute. A live selfie gets compared with your profile photos, so people know the face is real.

01 How it works
  1. 01

    Take a live selfie

    It’s a live check in the app, not a photo you upload.

  2. 02

    We compare it to your photos

    Your main photo has to match your selfie.

  3. 03

    The badge shows on your profile

    It holds while your main photo matches. Switch to one that doesn’t, and the badge comes off until it’s fixed.

02 Why it’s there
  • Optional, and yours to keep

    You choose whether to verify. Nobody has to.

  • The badge stays honest

    Because it comes off when your photos stop matching, a badge you see is current.

  • Verified likes only

    Once you’re verified, you can turn on “Verified likes only”, so only verified members can like you.

03 Questions
Do I have to verify?

No. It’s optional.

Can I use a photo of myself instead?

No. It’s a live check, so it has to be taken in the app at that moment.

What if I change my photos?

If your main photo no longer matches your selfie, the badge comes off until you fix it.

What happens to my selfies?

Other selfies are deleted after 90 days.
