How Veliane works
Every feature of Veliane, one question at a time: what it does and why it is there.
Join
Confirm you are 18 or older and agree to the terms. Your agreement is logged with a timestamp.
Write your profile
Name, age, city, a photo or avatar, who you are looking for and how serious you are.
See your matches
Serious people nearest first, with filters for age, seriousness, verified and same city.
Request an introduction
Your first message is a request. When it is accepted, you can talk freely.
All features
Real profiles only
Are the profiles on Veliane real?
Veliane allows real people only: no fake profiles, no false scarcity, no deceptive funnels. Every account confirms its email address, and reported fake profiles are reviewed and removed.
Permanent name
Can I change my name on Veliane?
No. Your name is set when you join and stays permanent, so nobody can quietly change identity. Enter it carefully.
Permanent home city, global reach
Why is my city permanent?
Your city is chosen once as your honest home base, so everyone shows a true origin. It does not limit you: your reach is global, and you can match with people anywhere.
Ready-made profile starters
Do I have to write my profile from nothing?
No. You can start from a ready-made example, such as “Warm & sincere” or “Family-minded”, and rewrite every part in your own words, or start from a blank profile. Examples are marked as examples and are never shown as members.
Introduction with starter lines
What do I write about myself?
Your introduction tells people who you are, what matters to you and what you hope to find in a partner. Tap a starter line for inspiration, then make it yours.
Up to 5 photos
How many photos can I add?
A main photo plus up to 4 more, 5 in total, in JPG or PNG. Photos are kept in a private store and shown through short-lived signed links.
Optional profile video
Can I add a video?
Yes. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link and it appears on your full profile. A short video makes a profile feel real.
Intro music
Can my profile play music?
Yes. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link to play it as background audio without the video, or a direct .mp3 or .wav link.
Life details
What details can I share?
Relationship status (single, divorced, widowed, separated), whether you were ever married, children with a short note, smoking, drinking, languages spoken and beliefs. Each detail is optional, and “prefer not to say” is always possible.
Who you are looking for
How do I say who I am looking for?
Set an age range and preferences such as at least 1, 2 or 3 photos, with or without children, and marital history. Preferences put better matches first; they never hide anyone.
Seriousness scale
How do people show how serious they are?
Everyone picks a point on a scale from “Just curious” through “Open and hopeful” and “Serious, taking it steady” to “Ready to settle down”. You can filter matches by it.
Matches, nearest first
How are matches shown?
Serious people of the gender you are looking for, nearest first, with filters for age, seriousness, verified and same city.
Introduction requests
How do I contact someone?
Your first message becomes an introduction request. It lands in their Requests, where they choose Accept or Decline. Once accepted, you can both write freely.
Private real-time chat
How does the chat work?
After an introduction is accepted, messages arrive in real time. You can reply to a specific message and use emoji.
Calm chat
Does Veliane show read receipts or typing?
No. There are no read receipts and no typing indicators. Your online status is off by default and appears only if you switch it on.
On-device chat translation
Can I chat with someone who speaks another language?
Yes. In supported browsers, Veliane detects the language of a message and translates it on your device. Elsewhere, messages simply appear as written.
Conversation controls
How do I slow down or stop a conversation?
From the conversation menu: mute it, turn on slow mode (one message per hour), silence the person so they cannot send until you allow it again, or block them.
Pin and archive
Can I organise my conversations?
Yes. Pin important conversations to the top, archive the others, and move them back to Messages at any time.
Delete for me or for both
Can I delete messages?
Yes. Delete a single message for yourself or for both, delete a conversation for yourself, or delete it for both and unmatch.
Private contact details
Will others see my phone number?
Never. Phone and WhatsApp are optional and never displayed to other members. You share them yourself, when you choose.
Free verified badge
What is the verified badge?
A safety badge that is earned and never sold. You can filter matches to show verified members only. Paid options buy reach, never trust.
Reporting
What can I report?
A fake profile, a scam or fraud, harassment, or abuse. Every report is reviewed by the team, which can send a notice, suspend, ban or remove an account.
Invisible mode
Can I hide my profile from public search?
Yes. Turn on “Make me invisible” to remove your public listing. Members inside Veliane still see you, and your contact details always stay private.
City and country pages
What are Veliane city pages?
Public pages that describe a city's community with counts only, never personal data. A city page appears once at least 3 members live there.
Success stories
Can couples share how they met?
Yes. Members can send their story and choose whether it may be shared. Shared stories are read with care before being featured.
Installable app
Is there a Veliane app?
Yes. Veliane installs from the browser on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac and Linux, and opens in its own window with its own icon.
Light and dark themes
Does Veliane have a dark mode?
Yes. Switch between light and dark at any time with the theme button.
11 languages
Which languages does Veliane speak?
English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic (right to left), Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, French and Indonesian. It opens in your device language when available.
One-step account deletion
How do I delete my account?
Edit profile → “Delete my profile”. Your profile and all your data are deleted immediately and permanently.
Free for everyone
What does Veliane cost?
Nothing today. Membership options open only after 10,000 confirmed real profiles, a free plan remains, and the verified badge is never sold.
