Answers for the questions that come up most often. Can't find something? Get in touch.

Account & security

Signing in with a passkey, adding a second factor, recovering access, and closing your account for good.

  • Deleting your Seldeo account

    How to delete your account, exactly what happens to each part of your data, how the 30-day countdown works, and how to change your mind.

  • Passkeys on Seldeo

    Enrolling a passkey on each device, renaming them so the list stays legible, removing one safely, and why the app insists you keep at least two.

  • Pausing your account

    Pause hides your presence on Seldeo without deleting anything — what stays, what stops, and how resuming works. Plus how pause differs from deletion.

  • Recovering a lost account

    Lost every device with your passkey? The recovery flow verifies you with your recovery email plus a recovery code — or your security questions — and enrolls a fresh passkey. Here is each step.

  • Signing in to Seldeo

    Seldeo sign-in is passkey-only — your face, fingerprint, or screen lock instead of a password. How it works, what to do on a new device, and the checklist for when sign-in fails.

  • Two-factor authentication

    Your passkey is the first factor on every Seldeo account. An optional authenticator app adds a second one — how to set it up, where the backup codes fit, and what we deliberately don't support.

  • Your recovery codes

    Recovery codes are shown once at sign-up and are the key to getting back in if every passkey is lost. What they are, how to store them, and what to do if they're gone.

Friends, followers & circles

How friends and followers differ, sending and answering requests, and the audiences built on top of them.

  • Friend requests

    Sending, accepting, and declining friend requests — what each button state means, what accepting actually changes, and the etiquette questions people actually ask.

  • Friends and followers: the two ways people connect on Seldeo

    Seldeo keeps two separate relationship graphs. Friendship is mutual and must be accepted; following is one-way and instant. What each one unlocks, and how the buttons on a profile map to them.

Posts, stories & memorials

Choosing who sees a post, building and editing Circles, and sharing something outside the app.

  • Circles: audiences you curate

    Circles let you share with a defined group of friends without a full private feed. How to create one, how they interact with the audience picker, and what your friends do and don't see.

  • Hashtags on Seldeo

    How to add hashtags to a post, how Seldeo normalizes them, the per-post limit, and the small set of reserved tags the app won't accept.

  • How your feed is ordered

    The Seldeo feed is not an engagement-maximizing black box. It draws from five sources in a fixed priority order — friends first — and this article says exactly what they are.

  • Sharing a post

    Every post has an audience choice — public, friends, a circle, or only-you. Here's how the audience picker works, how share links behave off Seldeo, and how to undo a post you didn't mean to publish.

  • Stories: sharing something for 24 hours

    How stories work on Seldeo — choosing who sees one, why the tray is chronological instead of ranked, what happens to a story and its metrics after 24 hours, and how stories differ from posts.

Messages, calls & presence

Direct and group chat, voice and video calls, and the controls over what your presence reveals.

  • Chat and message basics

    Starting conversations, message types, disappearing messages, translation, and how to delete a message so nobody sees it — one-on-one and group.

  • Online status, last seen, typing, and read receipts

    Control who sees your green dot, your last-seen timestamp, your typing indicator, and your read receipts — where each setting lives, what it changes, and what it does not.

  • Voice and video calls

    Placing calls, group calls, picture-in-picture, adaptive quality, and what to do when a call drops. What Seldeo records and what it doesn't.

Memorializing an account

What a memorial account changes, who can request one, and what documentation we ask for.

  • Memorialising an account

    How to memorialise the account of someone who has passed, who can request it, what the memorial page becomes, and how to set your own legacy up in advance.

Safety & privacy

Blocking and restricting people, reporting content, and what happens after a report is filed.

  • Blocking and restricting people

    The difference between blocking and restricting, how each affects the other person's view of your account, and how to manage your block list.

  • Reporting content, messages, or accounts

    How to report a post, story, reel, message, conversation, or account. What Seldeo's Trust & Safety team does next, and the appeal path if a decision goes against you.
