industry-leading age assurance
Wizz is designed to help Gen Z make verified, age-appropriate connections. Our age assurance systems ensure users can connect with confidence, knowing they’re talking to users their own age.
Age assurance starts before account creation: All users must complete age verification with Yoti's advanced age estimation technology and date-of-birth checks. If needed, we also request ID verification to prevent age misrepresentation.
Users are placed into age-appropriate communities, so conversations stay relevant, respectful, and safe.

Robust identity verification
Robust identity verification
Identity verification on Wizz extends beyond onboarding, making Wizz one of the safest apps in the market.
Identity Consistency Checks: We monitor for any discrepancies in age information at signup, within user profiles, or during interactions on the Wizz app. Any users suspected of identity misrepresentation are restricted and banned.
100% verified profiles: All images on the platform are being verified with AWS Machine Learning. This requires that every user's first profile photo must match the face of their age verification photo. This ensures users are authentic and creates a safe environment.

Why was Wizz removed from the app stores?
February 2024, Wizz faced negative publicity when several media platforms alleged that there was a high number of scammers on the app. This resulted in the app being temporarily removed from the Apple App andGoogle Play Stores. During this period, representatives from both Stores conducted thorough internal and external audits of our platform. Following these audits, both companies confirmed that Wizz is safe for users and put the app back online. We continue to prioritize user security above all else and have increased our efforts to communicate openly with the media about our safety measures.
