Updates

What’s new on Realr.

What changed, and what you can do now. Newest first.
  1. New

    Each kind of profile looks different

    In your wallet, dating, selling, personal and work profiles each have their own colour and symbol.

  2. New

    A shorter way to get started

    Pick your link, say what it is for, prove you’re real, and finish with a profile you can share.

  3. Design

    A new look

    Realr is now black on white with one typeface, in light and dark.

  4. New

    A simpler public profile

    Your profile is one page: your photo and name, what you’ve verified, your links and your photos.

  5. New

    Ask and see the answer in one place

    Ask someone to verify, then see who answered and what they chose to show, on the same screen.

  6. New

    Realr in Telegram

    Send your Realr or ask someone to verify without leaving a Telegram chat. Part of Realr+.

  7. Trust and safety

    Verified photos you can post anywhere

    Download a verified copy of your photo to post anywhere. Anyone who sees it can check it on Realr.

  8. Security

    Get back in if you lose your email

    If you lose both your email and your recovery email, you can ask Realr to review and restore your account.

  9. New

    Phone numbers from any country

    You can verify a phone number from any country.

  10. Design

    India and US versions of the site

    The website shows names, examples and prices for where you are. Switch at the bottom of any page.

  11. Trust and safety

    Take a vouch back

    If you vouched for someone, you can take it back.

  12. New

    One request link for many people

    Make one link, send it to everyone you need to check, and see each answer as it comes in.

  13. Trust and safety

    Getting verified is free

    The government ID check no longer costs anything.

  14. New

    Your wallet opens first

    Your profiles are the first thing you see when you sign in.

  15. Trust and safety

    You both reveal at the same time

    You and the other person each agree first, then you both see each other’s details together.

  16. New

    Remind someone who hasn’t answered

    Send one reminder for a request that is still waiting. A request you haven’t sent is saved as a draft.

  17. New

    Ask to see their verified photos

    When you ask someone to verify, you can ask for their verified photos too.

  18. Trust and safety

    People can vouch for you

    Ask someone who knows you to vouch for you. It shows on your profile.

  19. Trust and safety

    Prove you’re here right now

    A live check that shows you’re there right now, then ends by itself.

  20. Behind the scenes

    Your checks work on every profile

    A check you pass is attached to you, so you never verify the same thing twice.

  21. Trust and safety

    Block someone

    Block any profile. They can’t see your Realr, and you can unblock them under Privacy.

  22. Security

    A new code before big changes

    Changing your sign-in email, signing out other devices and deleting your account now ask for your authenticator code again.

  23. Security

    Two-step sign-in

    Add an authenticator app under Security, and keep eight backup codes.

  24. Security

    Staff actions are recorded

    Every approval, rejection and deletion by Realr staff is logged with who did it and when.

  25. Design

    Fixes for small phones

    Pages no longer scroll sideways, and the cookie notice no longer covers the last line.

  26. Security

    Tighter browser security

    Sign-in and website badges are better protected in your browser.

  27. Design

    Notifications without emoji

    Emails and your notifications use the same icons as the rest of Realr.

Prove you’re real with one link.
