Profile Customization

To edit your profile:

  1. Go to You → Edit profile
  2. Tap your profile photo to change it (take a photo or choose from gallery)
  3. Tap your name to edit it
  4. Tap the status field to set a custom status message

You have one profile in Helloii. It carries your name, photo, and status wherever you go.

Verified and Secure

Helloii has a single profile with two trust levels:

  • Verified — Your base level. You sign in as Verified using your TripleEnable identity, which confirms who you are through ID verification at signup. Every Helloii user is Verified.
  • Secure — An optional upgrade to that same profile, similar to adding a verified badge. Secure unlocks the highest trust level and advanced capabilities.

Both levels use one profile. Upgrading to Secure does not create a second account — it raises the trust level of the profile you already have.

To view your trust level:

  1. Go to You → Account → Trust Level

From here you can:

  • See your current level (Verified or Secure)
  • View your TripleEnable verification status
  • Upgrade to Secure if you are on the Verified level
  • See your ZTRS score

Linked Devices

Helloii can be used on multiple devices simultaneously.

To manage linked devices:

  1. Go to You → Account → Linked Devices
  2. View all devices currently connected
  3. Tap a device to see its last active time
  4. Swipe left or tap Remove to unlink a device

For security, relinking a removed device requires re-authentication.

Backup & Recovery

Your backup recovery phrase is the only way to recover your account. There are no security questions or email-based recovery options — this is by design for maximum security.

To view your backup recovery phrase:

  1. Go to You → Backup recovery phrase
  2. Authenticate with your PIN or biometrics
  3. Write down or securely store the key

Warning: If you lose your backup recovery phrase and password, your account cannot be recovered. Store your backup recovery phrase in a password manager or secure physical location.

Tips

  • One profile, two trust levels — Verified is your base level; Secure is an optional upgrade of the same profile
  • Use Dark mode — Ideal for extended use, especially in low-light environments
  • Review Storage periodically — Media files from conversations can accumulate over time
  • Keep Notifications enabled — Ensure you never miss important messages or calls
