When you newly join the app, there are so many restrictions which are annoying, but after a month or two they remove them. I was disappointed at first but it’s actually cooler now.
Can’t log out. Must delete app first.

Unable to verify my mobile number
Christiana Ayomide
For 3years now, I’ve been unable to verify my number and log in. I keep trying but all to no avail. The SMS verification isn’t working at all, I can’t send a verification SMS as instructed. I hope something will be done about this sooner. Thank you.
