-
🤝 Their name, phone and a live face photo
They type their name, prove their phone by sending one WhatsApp message, and take a live face photo, or say no and you see “Photo declined”. Their face is not compared with anything.
-
🪪 They see yours first
Nobody can ask for someone else’s face without giving their own. They see your name, your proven phone and your live photo before they give anything.
-
🔗 Share with someone you trust
Either of you can send the record to a person you trust from your own WhatsApp. They can only read it. Mekavo sends nothing.
-
🗓️ Kept 30 days, then deleted
Unless one of you reports that something happened; then it is kept for the police. No app or account is needed to answer.
-
⏰ Check on me
If you don’t tap “I’m OK” in time, Mekavo sends this person one email: that you did not confirm, who you met, and the emergency number. Nothing else.
🏢 For businesses whose people meet strangers
Hosts meeting guests, agents showing a flat, tradespeople, carers and cleaners going into homes: each person on your team uses Mekavo Angel on their own phone. The person at the door scans their code, and both see who the other is before the door opens.
- Hosts: see who is arriving before you hand over the keys — and your guest sees it is really you.
- Viewings and home visits: the client sees a real person with a proven phone, and your colleague sees the client.
- Each record belongs to the two people who met, kept 30 days unless one of them reports something.
- Free for every person on your team. No contract, no card.
Meeting someone in the UK — before the door, and if it goes wrong
Mekavo Angel is for the minute before you open the door or sit down. They scan the code on your phone; you see their name, a phone number proven by one WhatsApp message and a live photo, and they see yours. In the year to September 2025, 10,393 reports to the UK's national fraud service were dating scams. A phone someone can prove and a face that was really there are hard things for a fake profile to give.
Does the other person need the Mekavo app?
No. They scan your code with their phone camera and answer in their browser: their name, one WhatsApp message to prove their phone, and a live photo — or they say no to the photo and you see that. Nothing is required of them; what you do with what you see is your decision.
Is anyone's face compared with a database?
No. The live photo is shown only to the two of you. Mekavo does not compare faces with anything, does not check anyone's background, and cannot promise that anyone is safe.
How long is it kept, and who can see it?
Each of you keeps a private copy for 30 days, then it is deleted — unless one of you reports that something happened; then it is kept for the police. Either of you can send a read-only copy to someone you trust from your own WhatsApp. Mekavo is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Mekavo is software, not the police. In an emergency, call 999 (or 112). If you cannot speak on a mobile, call 999, cough or tap if you can, and press 55 when the recorded message asks — it tells the police the call is real, but it does not send your location. For anything that is not an emergency, call 101. Report a dating or romance scam to Report Fraud (reportfraud.police.uk, 0300 123 2040) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or to Police Scotland on 101.
Mekavo does not check anyone’s background and cannot promise that anyone is safe. In an emergency, call your local emergency number first.
