Photo rules
Add 3 to 6 photos of you. Your first photo is your main photo, and it needs to show your face clearly.
What works
- Recent photos where people can see you.
- Swimwear and shirtless photos are fine. Your main photo still needs to show your face clearly.
- Group photos are fine. A person checks them first.
What we don’t allow
- Nudity, lingerie or sexual poses.
- Contact details, like handles, phone numbers or QR codes.
- Screenshots, or photos of someone else.
- Weapons, drugs, violence or hate symbols.
- Photos with children.
- Photos too blurry or dark to see you.
How photos are checked
Every photo is checked when you add it. A person looks at any photo the check flags. If a photo isn’t approved, we tell you why. To ask a person to look again, go to You › Settings › Account status.
Why a photo may be hidden in some countries
A few countries, like the UAE, have strict laws about photos. To respect the law there, people browsing from those countries don’t see photos with:
- swimwear or no shirt
- a revealing outfit
- a kiss or a couple
- a Pride symbol
Everyone else sees all your approved photos. Nothing is removed, and it never counts against you.
- We tell you under each photo if it’s hidden in those countries.
- While we’re still checking a photo, it stays hidden there.
- There, the first photo people can see becomes your main photo. If none can be shown, people browsing there don’t see your profile.
