Compare Safety Numbers
The safety number is displayed as both a numeric code and a QR code. Compare this number with your contact through a separate trusted channel—in person, on a verified phone call, or through another secure platform you both trust.
3
Scan QR Code In Person
The most secure verification method: meet in person and scan each other's QR codes using WeTalkin's built-in scanner. A successful scan confirms that no man-in-the-middle is intercepting your communication.
4
Mark Contact as Verified
After confirming safety numbers match, mark the contact as verified in WeTalkin. You will receive alerts if the safety number ever changes (which could indicate a security concern or simply a device change).
5
Respond to Safety Number Changes
If a verified contact's safety number changes, WeTalkin alerts you. This usually means the contact set up a new device. Re-verify through a trusted channel before continuing sensitive conversations. The alert system catches potential security issues early.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is contact verification required?
No. WeTalkin provides strong encryption without verification. Verification is an optional additional step that provides the highest assurance against man-in-the-middle attacks. It is recommended for contacts with whom you discuss highly sensitive matters.
What does a safety number change mean?
A safety number change usually means the contact reinstalled WeTalkin or set up a new device. While typically innocent, it could theoretically indicate a security issue. Always re-verify through a trusted channel before resuming sensitive conversations.
Do I need to verify every contact?
No. Focus on verifying contacts with whom you discuss the most sensitive information—your closest family, business partners, and professional contacts. Casual contacts benefit from WeTalkin's encryption without the additional verification step.
