Safety & verification

Selfie verification

A guided selfie with a random head-turn proves you are a live person, and is compared with your profile photos.

• Photos must show one clear face: no group photos, pets, scenery or screenshots
• Every photo is checked to be the same person
• Modesty checks on every upload

ID verification

Your national ID card, Emirates ID, Iqama or passport confirms your name, age (18+) and identity.

• Stored in a private, encrypted vault, never shown to other members
• Seen only by trained moderators through links that expire in minutes
• Deleted automatically after review
• Borderline cases are always decided by a person, not a machine

Fake profiles and scams

AI-assisted systems look for fake, duplicate or stolen identities, bots and known scam patterns.

• The same face on two accounts is flagged
• Celebrity, stock and AI-generated photos are caught
• Chats are scanned for money, crypto and visa scams, with warnings for you

Report & block

Every profile and conversation has Report and Block, with clear categories. Reports are reviewed by real moderators.

• Blocking is instant and silent
• Repeat offenders are removed

Privacy controls

You choose how visible you are and what you share.

• Public, Private or Invisible profile modes
• Avoid contacts: people in your phone book won’t see you (stored only as secure hashes)
• Nobody can search for you by phone number, email or ID
• Location rounded to about 1 km; others see rough distances only
• Screenshot protection in chats on Android

Photo privacy

Photos can stay blurred until you match, or be visible only to members you approve.

• Original photos are never exposed to people without access
• Location metadata is removed from every photo

Wali involvement

Invite your wali or a family member into conversations whenever you like, for guidance and accountability.
