Fake profiles and romance scams are the biggest problem in international dating, and no app can promise they are gone. HerHello makes them harder: she decides who can open a conversation, and members can take an optional selfie check, done by a person, to earn a verified badge. Not every member has one, so look for it.
Only she can start — if she chooses. Or she can let either of you say hello. Whichever she picks, the app enforces it.
She decides who opens the conversation — either of them, or only her — enforced in the database, not just the design.
Hear them and see them before you meet — without giving out your number.
How a conversation starts.
If she keeps the first message for herself, the app will not let anyone else send it — it's a rule on the server, not a guideline.
When you both express interest it is a match — then whoever she has allowed can say hello first. Members who complete an optional selfie check carry a verified badge — look for it rather than assuming it.
Built around one rule: you decide who talks to you.
Members can confirm they're real with a live selfie that a person checks against their profile photos — no bots, no document uploads.
He can express interest. Whether he can also say hello first is your call — and the app enforces it.
Report from any profile or chat: reports are reviewed by a person; a block is instant.
