1/2

Ask someone to show they're real.

Send the invite through the chat you already use. They do four head moves you pick live, and hand you a stamp of their face — then it's gone.

Which way should they face?

  1. 1Send the invite through the chat you already use. It works for the first two phones that open it.
  2. 2They do the check on their phone: four head moves you pick live, then a stamp of their face, tinted before anyone sees it.
  3. 3You see the stamp and accept. Then it's gone. Try the check on yourself — nothing is sent.

Here's what the other person is left holding, in each case. Nothing here is softened.

They opened your invite. They saw a code, your name if you typed one, and what you asked for.

They got
Nothing they can use. No picture of you — the stamp only goes the other way. No location — a city name you chose, never a position. Nothing to search for later.
They didn't get
Your face, your phone number, your account, where you are, or anything that outlives the session.
If you were the one checked
They got the stamp: a tinted still with the session code pressed on it, gone from the wire once seen. A screenshot of that is the most they can keep — no profile picture, no template, nothing that finds you.

Possible. The moves are measured on your phone from frames of theirs, and a good real-time face swap can follow a head turn. That's why the stamp exists — a still, at a moment they didn't choose, for your eyes.

What holds
Somebody was live, doing what you asked, when you asked. The stamp is theirs to explain.
What doesn't
That it was the person in their photos. If money is involved, treat a pass as one signal, not a clearance.

Act in this order. Every link goes to the real place.
