Self-Help Desk · Face Check Self-Diagnosis

Face check won't pass? Start by narrowing it down

Liveness stuck spinning, a "bad lighting" prompt, a "doesn't match your ID" message, or being told to wait after too many tries — most of the time it isn't that "something's wrong with your face." It's usually your setup, how you're holding the phone, or something you typed that doesn't line up. Pick the situation below that matches yours, then see the likeliest cause and the fixes you can try on your own. These are experience-based pointers, and they don't tell you how the platform will decide.

Note: this page is experience-based (checked June 2026). It lists the mistakes people tend to run into and the fixes you can try first. It doesn't reflect how the platform actually decides, and trying these doesn't guarantee you'll pass. For anything about cooldowns or attempt counts, follow the wait time shown on the platform's own screen — the official figure is what counts; we don't put fixed hours here. If you've tried everything and you're still stuck, go through human support / an appeal instead of hammering the retry button. And to be clear: this site only helps you get your own face through the check. We have nothing to do with "passing the face check for you" or "bypassing liveness" — that's a scam, and it gets accounts banned outright. Stay away from services like that.

How to use this diagnosis

First figure out where you're stuck: are you never even reaching the camera screen (usually the camera or a permission), or do you get in but never pass (usually lighting, your movements, or info that doesn't line up)? Pick the option that's closest, work through the fixes one at a time, and you'll clear most cases. If it still won't go, don't keep mashing retry — too many quick retries can trigger a wait or cooldown and just slow you down. For the full list of failure reasons and the appeal process, read every reason a face check fails and what to do alongside how to appeal a rejected verification.
