What are Modes and badges on my profile?
Modes show things in common, like music and star signs, on cards. Badges are marks you earn, and you choose which ones others see.
Updated 5 November 2026
Modes and badges are optional extra layers on your profile. You turn them on and off as you like.
Modes
You will find Modes in Explore. When a mode is on, cards show what you have in common, for example that you both listen to the same artist.
Music: genres and artists you love.
Astrology: your star sign and shared signs.
Learning: now and then you tell us what caught your eye on a profile, so we learn what you go for.
You choose whether a mode is shown on your profile. If you turn a mode off, its data is deleted.
Badges
Badges are small marks on your profile. For example, you can get the Campus badge by confirming your university email under Settings > Verification, and you earn other badges in the app, for example through challenges.
Under Profile > Edit profile > Badges and stickers you choose which badges others can see. You can also add stickers there.
