Profile Approval vs Identity Verification: What Each Status Means

Profile approval and identity verification protect different parts of Strictly Hookup. Understanding the difference helps you act on the right dashboard notice.

Profile approval controls public visibility

An admin-approved escort profile can appear in browse, map, and public search when it also meets the live-media requirements. A profile awaiting approval remains visible only to its owner and administrators.

Verification unlocks protected features

Identity verification is required for trust-sensitive features such as HookCoins, bookings, and messaging access. An approved profile can therefore be public while some dashboard tools remain locked.

Use the status shown in your dashboard

The overview explains whether approval, verification, or public media is blocking a feature. Follow that specific action instead of resubmitting unrelated profile details.
