Safety & trust

How do I verify my photo on Linga Chat?

To verify your photo on Linga Chat, open your profile settings, start photo verification, take a live selfie matching the pose prompt, and once it matches your profile photos you receive a verified badge that shows other members you are a real person.

Photo verification helps keep Linga Chat a community of real people. A verified badge builds trust with language partners, and you can still filter and choose who to talk to — free to start on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows.

  1. Open profile settingsGo to your profile and open settings, then find Photo Verification. It is free and takes about a minute.
  2. Start photo verificationTap to begin. Linga Chat asks for a live selfie taken in the moment — not an upload from your gallery — so the check confirms a real person is present.
  3. Follow the pose promptMatch the pose shown on screen and hold still while the camera captures it. The photo is used only to compare against your profile pictures.
  4. Get your verified badgeOnce the selfie matches your profile photos, a verified badge appears on your profile so partners can see at a glance that you are genuine.
