At VISIBLE, we’re committed to making connections between parents as authentic and trustworthy as possible. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of Profile Photos, a feature designed to help parents recognize each other and build trust in our community.
While profile photos on VISIBLE are optional, adding one can go a long way in helping other parents recognize and connect with you on the app. And because trust and safety are a top priority for us, we’re taking a unique approach to ensure that users are exactly who they say they are.
A Unique Approach to Profile Photos: Real-Time Photos Only
To maintain a high level of authenticity, we’ve built a feature that requires users to take a real-time photo when adding a profile picture. This means no uploading photos from your camera roll, and no grabbing an image off the internet. It’s a simple and straightforward process: just snap a quick photo directly from your camera, and that’s your profile picture.
We understand this approach is a bit different, and it might not be for everyone. Some parents might feel camera-shy or prefer using the same photo across multiple platforms. But we believe this method plays a crucial role in building trust between users, particularly at this early stage in our product’s development.

Why Are We Doing This?
At this stage in our MVP, we know how important it is to foster trust and safety among parents. By requiring a real-time photo for profile pictures, we’re ensuring that users are genuine and verified, which enhances the overall experience for everyone. This feature helps create a secure and transparent environment where parents can feel confident about who they’re interacting with.
Visible’s approach to profile photos isn’t about perfection—it’s about making sure that parents can trust each other in a space dedicated to connecting and sharing important experiences.
What’s Next?
As we continue to evolve VISIBLE, we’ll remain committed to building trust and creating a safe environment for our community of parents. We know that this real-time photo feature may take some getting used to, but we believe it will help make the VISIBLE platform a more genuine, trusted space for parents everywhere.
Ready to Add Your Profile Photo?
If you haven’t already, we encourage you to give it a try! Open the app, snap a quick photo, and make your profile more recognizable to other parents. It’s a simple way to strengthen the VISIBLE community and connect with other parents on a more personal level.
