Your Trust Level
Helloii uses a single profile. There are no separate accounts to switch between and no anonymous mode. When you sign up, you verify your identity through your TripleEnable identity, so you sign in as Verified from day one. Your trust level is shown in the You tab.
There are two trust levels:
- Verified — the base level for every Helloii user. Your identity has been confirmed through TripleEnable ID verification at signup. This is the everyday trust level for all of your conversations and contacts.
- Secure — an optional upgrade of your same profile. Think of it like adding a higher verified badge to the account you already have. Secure unlocks the highest trust level in Helloii and additional advanced capabilities.
How to view your trust level:
- Tap the You tab in the bottom navigation bar
- Your current trust level (Verified or Secure) is displayed at the top of your profile
Upgrading to Secure
Secure is an add-on to your existing Verified profile, not a separate account. When you upgrade, everything stays in one place: the same conversations, the same contacts, the same settings. Upgrading raises your trust level and unlocks advanced capabilities. You do not lose or move any data when you upgrade.
