An introduction layer
Built for introductions—not attention.
Connect is not a feed, dating product or messenger. It has one clear job: help people aged 16+ in the IMS student path make a thoughtful introduction in the same supported city.
Complete a live-person check
Randomized on-device actions are required once before Go Live. This is not identity verification or profile-photo matching.
Go live deliberately
A foreground reading confirms a supported city and creates up to 24 hours of visibility.
Explore city context
See eligible profiles in the same canonical city. Exact location and distance are never shown.
Request an introduction
Choose which encrypted contact methods you would be willing to offer. None is preselected.
Approve mutually
The recipient can accept or ignore and independently choose what to share.
Continue where you prefer
Authorized WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram or Telegram details unlock; conversation continues outside IMS.
Optional campus context
An IMS-approved academic status can be shown and gently influence order if the student chooses. It never gates Connect.
Immediate safety controls
Go invisible, stop future contact access, block immediately or report privately.
Trust marks with honest limits
A live-person mark confirms an active one-time check, not legal identity. Optional academic status is reviewed by IMS, not endorsed by a university. Revocation stops future IMS access but cannot recall a detail already copied outside the app.
