What the Verified badge means
The My Mutuals team ·
You’ll see a small badge beside some names on My Mutuals. Here’s what it means.
How someone gets it
A member takes a selfie in the app, and our team compares it with the photos on their profile. If it’s approved, they get the badge and can be found through the verified filter.
What it tells you
The badge tells you that when our team checked, the selfie and the photos appeared to show the same person.
If a member adds or replaces a photo, the badge is removed until they’re verified again, so it can’t stay on a set of photos that wasn’t checked.
What it doesn’t tell you
The badge isn’t a background check. It doesn’t confirm someone’s name, job or intentions, and it doesn’t mean they’re safe to meet. Not every member is verified, either.
So treat it as one good sign among others, and keep using your own judgement.
Using it
- Plus and Premium include a verified filter in Explorer and Match preferences.
- Plus and Premium also let you allow chats from verified people only.
- You can get verified yourself, on any plan, so others have one more reason to say hello.
