Ghost Mode

Ghost Mode is designed for everyone who prefers to stay in the background, protect their privacy, and move through Velvet without being automatically discovered by others. It hides your location and removes you from all discovery areas - while still allowing you to use Velvet normally and interact when you choose to.

What is Ghost Mode?

Ghost Mode removes your profile from all discovery areas, meaning:

• Explore

• Map

• List View

Users cannot find you by location, distance, or browsing.

Your online status is also hidden.

So unless you take an action, your profile stays invisible to everyone on Velvet.

What stays visibile while in Ghost Mode?

Only in these cases:

• They see you in a group you joined

• They see your Pin

• They see your like/comment on a Pin

You cannot be added through:

• Explore

• Map

• List View

• Distance-based lists

Ghost Mode removes you from everywhere people usually browse to find new users.

How do I activate Ghost Mode?

Go to:
Profile → Ghost Mode → Choose duration

You can select:

• 24 hours

• 30 days

The timer starts immediately and your profile shows:

Active until [date + time]

How to deactive Ghost Mode ?

Ghost Mode cannot be turned off manually.

It automatically ends when the purchased time expires.

If you want to stop Ghost Mode earlier, please contact Velvet Support
(early deactivation does not issue a refund).

In the future Premium version, Ghost Mode will include unlimited ON/OFF toggling.

What about refunds?

Ghost Mode purchases are non-refundable, even if turned off early.

(This is legally standard & required by Apple/Google.)

Does Ghost Mode affect Boost?

Yes - you cannot activate a Boost while Ghost Mode is active.

Location protection

While Ghost Mode is active:

• Your real-time location is never shared

• No bubble appears on the map

• No distance shown to anyone

• No one can see you in any “nearby” section

Full privacy.
