Questions

Good to know.

Is velvv free?

Yes — velvv is free to download and free to start. Optional Premium plans unlock extras like seeing who liked you, boosts, and invisible mode, but you can meet people without paying a thing.

How do you keep people real?

Everyone proves they're real with a quick face scan, and our team reviews it. The face in the photos is the person you meet — so there are far fewer fakes, bots, and stolen-photo accounts.

Are my chats private?

Chats are private between participants, with blocking, reporting, and view-once media controls. Never share financial information or verification codes in a conversation.

What is Places?

Places is a live map of the bars, lounges and spots where people are actually out tonight — and who's there. Find the night instead of guessing where it is.

What is velvv Exclusive?

Exclusive is three invite-only circles — Odogwu, Kings & Queens, and Celebrity — for verified high-profile members who'd rather keep things private. Membership is by application and review.

Where is velvv available?

velvv is available on Android and as an installable web app for iPhone and iPad. Coverage is growing across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and beyond.
