More ways to connect
A LOOK AHEAD / MORE CONTEXT, BEFORE YOU CONNECT
A little more confidence.
A clearer picture.
Real connections matter. We’re working on clearer signals to help you understand the profiles and photos you see.
SELFIE VERIFICATION
A live selfie.
A photo match.
An optional live selfie check matches you to your primary profile photo. No government ID required.
The badge does not verify your name, age, background or intentions.
AI TRANSPARENCY
Made with AI?
That should be clear.
Photo labels add context when someone discloses AI use or a review identifies possible AI edits.
Detection can be mistaken. An unlabelled photo is not proof that no AI was used.
Your space, with support
Good company.
On your terms.
Know how your information is used, what our community expects, and where to turn when something doesn’t feel right.
Finding your fit
Different apps.
Different chemistry.

How does anonymous browsing work on Chunkr?
Anonymous browsing lets people look around the nearby map with more control over when their profile appears, so discovery feels less exposed and more intentional.
How does Chunkr use my location?
Chunkr uses location for nearby discovery and approximate distance. Our privacy policy explains how location is processed and displayed, the controls available, and the limits of those protections.
What does the selfie-verification badge mean?
We’re working on an optional live selfie check that matches a person to their primary profile photo, without requiring government ID. The Chunkr verified badge describes that photo match, not a check of their name, age, background or intentions. The examples here are illustrative previews.
What do the AI-photo labels mean?
Our preview shows how labels can add context to photos created or edited with AI. AI edited means the person disclosed AI use; Possible AI edits means a review identified possible AI involvement. Detection can be mistaken, and an absent label does not prove a photo has no AI edits. Made with AI is the illustrative wording shown in this preview.
Who can use Chunkr?
Chunkr is for adults aged 18 and older. Everyone using the app must follow our community guidelines.
