TrulyMadly Trust Score: Complete Guide to Maximum Verification

TrulyMadly's trust score isn't just a number - it shows other users how much of your profile has been verified on one of India's more serious dating platforms. TrulyMadly does not publish how the score affects visibility, but a well-verified profile is easier to trust, and many users look for it before they reply.

This guide explains how the trust system works, which steps raise your score and how to keep it high. Menus and exact steps change between app versions, so follow what your app shows.

Understanding the Trust Score System

What is TrulyMadly Trust Score?

The Basics:

• A verification-based rating shown as a percentage
• Combines several verification sources
• Rises as you complete more verifications
• Updates when you add or remove verifications
• Visible to other users on your profile

Why Trust Score Matters:

• Visibility: a complete, verified profile gives people fewer reasons to skip you
• Credibility: users can see at a glance that you are who you say you are
• Match Quality: serious users tend to prefer verified profiles
• Safety: verification reduces catfishing and fake profiles
• Conversation Rate: people are more comfortable replying to a profile they trust

How to Read the Score

Rough Guide (our interpretation, not official TrulyMadly bands):

• Low: little verified, easy for others to doubt
• Medium: basics verified, room to grow
• High: most verifications done, a credible profile
• Very high: every available verification completed

Trust Score Components

1. Phone Verification

Impact: Essential baseline verification

How to Complete:

1. Open the verification section of your profile
2. Select phone verification
3. Enter your active mobile number
4. Receive the OTP via SMS
5. Enter the OTP to complete

Pro Tips:

• Use your primary, personal mobile number
• Keep the same number for profile consistency
• Enable extra account security where offered
• Usually completes within moments

2. Facebook Verification

Impact: A strong trust signal and social proof

What Helps:

• An established, genuinely used Facebook account
• A real network of friends
• Some regular activity
• The same name as on your TrulyMadly profile

How to Complete:

1. Go to the verification section
2. Select "Connect Facebook"
3. Authorize TrulyMadly access
4. Allow basic profile information
5. Verification completes automatically

What a Connected Account Can Show:

• That the account is real and established
• That your name is consistent
• That you have a genuine social network

Privacy:

• Check the permissions screen to see exactly what is shared
• Dating apps typically do not post on your behalf; confirm in the permissions
• Review TrulyMadly's privacy policy if you are unsure
• Disconnecting usually removes that verification from your score

3. LinkedIn Verification

Impact: Professional credibility, education and work details

What Helps:

• An active LinkedIn profile
• Complete professional information
• Current job listed
• Education details filled
• A clear profile photo

How to Complete:

1. Open the verification section and choose LinkedIn
2. Log in to LinkedIn
3. Authorize TrulyMadly
4. Allow access to your basic profile
5. Verification completes

Why LinkedIn Matters:

• Many marriage-minded users care about education and profession
• Shows career seriousness
• Backs up your professional claims
• Adds credibility
• Appreciated by marriage-minded users

4. Photo Verification

Impact: One of the strongest trust signals and an anti-catfish measure

How It Usually Works:

1. The app prompts you for a live selfie
2. Follow the on-screen instructions
3. Take a selfie that matches your profile photos
4. The app checks the face match
5. A verified badge appears on your profile once approved

Requirements for Success:

• Good lighting (natural light best)
• Face clearly visible
• No sunglasses or masks
• Match your main profile photo
• Current appearance (no drastic changes)

Common Rejection Reasons:

• Face doesn't match profile photos

• Face partially obscured
• Outdated profile photos (verification won't match)
• Wearing accessories not in profile photos

Pro Tips:

• Complete during daytime (better lighting)
• Remove sunglasses/hat for verification
• Face camera directly
• Neutral expression similar to profile
• Retry if rejected; a second attempt in better light often works

5. Email Verification

How to Complete:

1. Open your account settings
2. Enter your email address
3. Receive the verification email
4. Click the verification link

Trust Score Impact on Dating Success

Visibility

TrulyMadly does not publish how its matching or ranking algorithm weighs the trust score against activity, profile completeness or engagement. Any precise percentages you see online are guesses. What is reasonable to expect:

• Trust Score: shows others how much of your profile is verified
• Activity: active profiles are more likely to be seen and answered
• Profile Completeness: gives people more reasons to like you
• User Engagement: good conversations come from good first impressions

Match Quality

What to Expect:

• Verified users often prefer other verified users
• A trusted profile makes it easier for someone to send the first message
• People reply more readily when they are not worried about a fake profile
• Serious users may use trust as a filter where the app allows it

Advanced Trust Optimization

5. Neutral expression (matches profile photos better)

LinkedIn Optimization

• Ensure name consistency with TrulyMadly

Facebook Enhancement

Trust Score Myths vs Reality

Common Misconceptions

MYTH: Premium membership automatically gives a full trust score

REALITY: Verifications are what build trust; paying does not verify who you are

MYTH: You need all verifications for matches

REALITY: You can match without them, but each verification makes your profile easier to trust

MYTH: Trust score doesn't matter if photos are good

REALITY: Great photos plus verification is more convincing than either alone

MYTH: Once achieved, trust score stays permanently

REALITY: It can drop if you disconnect verifications or change key details

MYTH: Photo verification is optional

REALITY: Technically yes, but it is one of the clearest signals that you are real

Trust Score FAQs

Common Questions

Q: Can I reach 100% trust score?
A: Possibly, if you complete every verification your app version offers. A high score with the key verifications done is what matters most.

Q: How long does verification take?
A: Phone/email: usually within moments. Facebook/LinkedIn: a few minutes. Photo: usually quick if the selfie matches.

Q: What if photo verification keeps failing?
A: Update main photo to very recent selfie, try in good natural lighting, remove accessories, ensure clear face visibility.

Q: Can I disconnect Facebook after verification?
A: Usually yes, but you will likely lose that part of your score. Better to keep connected if you are comfortable with it.
