🤳 Why a Real Profile Photo is Required
Currently is built for authenticity, real-time connection, and genuine social presence.
To maintain a trustworthy and safe environment, we require all users to:
Upload a clear, real photo of themselves
Avoid using avatars, logos, celebrities, or group pictures
This helps ensure every interaction is real — not anonymous, fake, or misleading.
🧠 How It Helps the Community
🛡️ Reduces fake profiles and spam
🤝 Builds trust among users
🔍 Improves discoverability and meaningful engagement
🧍♀️ Makes the platform feel human, not like a feed of unknown accounts
🚫 What Happens Without a Real Photo?
If you skip or upload a fake/irrelevant image:
Your account may be restricted or flagged
You may not appear in Discover or Map
You could be reported by other users
Your visibility and engagement will be significantly limited
Accounts without real profile photos do not meet Currently’s quality and visibility standards (C-Rank).
🛠️ How to Upload Your Real Profile Photo
Tap your profile icon (bottom bar)
Tap Edit Profile
Tap the profile photo circle
