68% of fake dating-app accounts now use AI-powered chat engines. Brolo screens every profile photo with AI moderation before it goes live, and verified users carry a selfie-verified badge so you know who's real.
Every photo runs through automated AI moderation the moment it's uploaded. Bots that try to use stock images, celebrity photos, or AI-generated faces get rejected before any real user sees them. The pipeline is continuous — old photos are re-scanned when models improve.
Users who complete selfie verification get a visible badge on their profile. They've proven they are the person in their photos. Filter the grid to show only verified profiles when you want maximum confidence.
You decide who can message you. Block messages from profiles without a photo. Block media sends from users you haven't replied to. Revoke private-album access at any time. Your inbox, your rules.
In countries where being out is dangerous, stealth mode hides your photo from other users while you browse. Brolo replaces your avatar with a neutral placeholder so a screen seen by the wrong person doesn't put you at risk. Learn more about stealth mode.
You set your identity and who you're interested in during onboarding. Only see who you like. Only seen by who likes you. Brolo's grid filters this for everyone by default — not as a premium feature.
Usernames with minor-adjacent terms, age numbers under 18, or harassment language are blocked at write-time. Reports go to a human moderation queue, not an automated black box.
Brolo surfaces two kinds of real-world gatherings inside the App: user-hosted Chills (any user can create one) and Community Meetups (third-party public events such as Pride parades that Brolo notifies you about so you can find them). For Community Meetups, Brolo is not the organizer. We don't host, run, staff, supervise, sponsor, or endorse the event — we're only telling you it exists.
Before you attend any meetup discovered through Brolo:
If you see unsafe conduct, harassment, or anything that violates our Terms at a meetup or in chat, report it from within the App (Settings → Report) or email support@bromo-app.com. We investigate every report.
The moderation pipeline runs in three stages. First, every uploaded photo is sent to an image-classification model trained to detect AI-generated faces, stock imagery, and known catfish photo sets. Photos that fail this stage never go live. Second, on signup, every account is required to have at least one photo before any messaging or grid action is possible — the "No Pic No Chat" gate. Third, message-sending is gated server-side by completed onboarding state, which blocks the API-direct bot vector where a script signs up via Cognito and tries to hit the messages endpoint without ever opening the app.
Real users feel none of this — onboarding takes under a minute. Bots can't get through it at all.
