👤 Your myteeb Profile

Editing Your Profile

Go to My Profile (person icon in the sidebar or mobile nav) to edit everything about yourself. Your profile has three main tabs:

Profile Tab

The core information people see:

  • Profile photo — your main photo (required for the best experience).
  • First name & last name — first name is always shown; last name is optional.
  • Bio — up to 500 characters. Tell people who you are, what you're about, or what you're looking for.
  • City — helps with location-based discovery.
  • Gender & looking for — controls who sees you and who you see in discovery.

Details Tab

Extended profile information used by discovery filters:

  • Height, relationship goal, religion, education, smoking, drinking, wants children
  • These fields are optional but they help the right people find you
  • They appear as chips on your public profile page

Interests Tab

Pick up to 10 interests from 35+ tags. Shared interests are highlighted when someone views your profile — this helps start conversations naturally.

💡 Tip: A complete profile (photo + bio + 5+ interests) gets significantly more visibility and likes. It's the single biggest thing you can do to improve your results.

Uploading Photos

Your profile photo is the first thing people see. To change it or add more photos:

  1. 1
    Go to My Profile → Profile tab

    Click your current profile photo or the upload area.

  2. 2
    Select your photo

    Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image from your device. Maximum file size is 5 MB.

  3. 3
    Save changes

    Your new photo uploads and saves automatically. It will appear on your profile immediately.

Photo Tips

  • Use a clear, recent photo of just your face as your main profile picture.
  • Smiling photos perform significantly better.
  • Avoid group photos, sunglasses, or heavily filtered images as your main photo.
  • Add more photos in your photo albums to give people a fuller picture of you.

Photo Verification ✅

Photo verification (selfie verification) proves you are the real person in your profile photos. Verified profiles display a green ✅ Verified badge — this significantly increases trust and match rates.

How to Get Verified

  1. 1
    Go to My Profile

    Find the Verify Photos section and click the button to start the process.

  2. 2
    Take a selfie in the required pose

    You'll be shown a reference pose. Take a selfie matching it — this proves you're a real person and not using someone else's photos.

  3. 3
    Submit for review

    Our team reviews selfie verifications manually. You'll receive a notification once you're approved (usually within 24 hours).

Photo verification is free for all users. Once verified your badge appears on your profile and all your profile cards in other people's discovery feeds.

Photo Albums

Photo albums let you share more of your life beyond your single profile photo. You can create themed albums (travel, hobbies, lifestyle) and optionally make them private so only people you approve can see them.

Album Limits by Plan

Plan Max Albums Photos per Album
Free 2 Up to 10
✦ Silver 5 Up to 10
⭐ Gold 10 Up to 10

Creating an Album

  1. 1
    Go to My Profile → scroll to the Albums section

    You'll see your existing albums and a + Create Album button.

  2. 2
    Name your album

    Give it a descriptive name like "Travel 2024" or "My Hobbies".

  3. 3
    Set privacy

    Choose Public (anyone viewing your profile can see it) or Private (only people you approve can see the photos).

  4. 4
    Upload photos

    Open the album and add photos one by one (up to 10 per album). JPG, PNG, WebP, max 5 MB each.

Private Albums & Access Requests

When an album is private, other users see a locked album card on your profile. They can send you an access request — you'll be notified and can approve or reject it. Only approved users can view the photos.

You can delete albums or toggle privacy at any time from your profile.

Interests

myteeb has 35+ interest tags across categories like Travel, Music, Sports, Gaming, Food, Books, Art, and more. You can select up to 10 interests.

Interests are used to:

  • Show shared interests as coloured chips on discovery cards and profile pages.
  • Give people a quick sense of who you are before they read your bio.
  • Help start conversations — "Oh you like hiking too? I just got back from..."

Go to My Profile → Interests tab, toggle interests on/off, and save. You can update them any time.

Your Public Profile URL

Every myteeb member has a clean profile URL: myteeb.com/your-username

You can share this link with friends or on social media. Clicking it takes them directly to your public profile page. To change your username, go to Settings → Username (can only be changed once every 6 months).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does photo verification take?
Our team reviews selfie verifications manually. Most verifications are processed within 24 hours, often much sooner. You'll receive a notification when your verification is approved or if there's an issue with your submission.
Can I delete a photo album?
Yes. Go to My Profile, find the album, and click the Delete button. All photos in the album will be permanently deleted. This cannot be undone.
Can I change my profile photo?
Yes, any time. Go to My Profile → Profile tab, click your photo, and upload a new one. Your old profile photo is replaced immediately.
Why is my profile not showing up in Discovery?
Make sure your account is active (not deactivated), you haven't been banned, and your profile is complete (at least a profile photo). Also check that Incognito Mode is not accidentally enabled — while it doesn't affect your Discovery visibility directly, you may have hidden settings that affect this.
