Get answers about social and dating apps
How do social and dating apps detect fake profiles and bots?
Check every new account from the phone number or email it signs up with. Monnai flags a throwaway number, an email address created yesterday or a missing digital footprint, signs that no real person may be behind the profile, before it can message anyone.
How can social apps stop banned scammers from coming back?
Banned for a romance scam, the same people return with a new profile, a new email and a new number. Network Intelligence shows the history behind an account that looks new: a number or address first seen days ago, used in sudden bursts, or already tied to several identities.
How can dating apps check that members are old enough without an ID?
Check age from the details members already give. Age Verification matches a typed date of birth against the official record, or finds one from the phone number or email; where no date is held, Monnai’s age model gives a likely over or under 18. Documents only when the record can’t answer.
Is Monnai a replacement for one-time codes or photo checks?
No. A one-time code proves someone holds a phone right now; Monnai adds what the number and email say about the person behind them, silently. It runs next to the checks you already use, so only risky sign-ups get extra steps.
Can a dating app test Monnai on its own sign-ups?
Yes. Send past sign-ups with a phone number and an email for each, and mark the accounts you later banned if you want the uplift measured. We score them offline, with no integration on your side, and your full report comes back within 5 business days.
