Niki Live Face Verification, Common Problems & Solutions
- The App Won’t Access My Camera
Start by checking that Niki Live has been granted camera permissions in your phone’s settings. It’s also worth making sure you’re running the most up-to-date version of the app. If neither of those fixes it, try restarting your device.
- My Face Verification Is Still Under Review
The majority of verifications are done within minutes. Though certain cases can take up to three business days when a manual review is needed. If your submission has been sitting in review longer than that, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team and we’ll get you an update.
- My Face Verification Was Rejected
Rejections most commonly occur when the video recorded during verification doesn’t match the profile photo on your account, or when another person is visible in the frame. Take a look at your profile picture and make sure it’s a clear, recent photo of just yourself, then go ahead and run through the verification process again.
