Good questions

Before your first two minutes.

Why two minutes for a video introduction?
Two minutes gives you a comfortable, structured moment to sense warmth, voice and natural chemistry. It removes the pressure of a long first date while making sure both people feel respected and engaged.
How do post-date decisions work?
When the two minutes end, each person privately chooses Romance, Friendship or No follow-up. Messaging only opens when both choices match, and nobody sees an answer that didn’t match.
What safety tools and checks does Novia use?
Novia uses age, phone, location, profile media and account-risk checks to deter impersonation. A one-tap Leave button is always on screen during a date, and reporting and blocking are built in.
Why are you launching city by city?
Live video introductions need real people online at the same time. Nigeria is our first market, not our limit: Novia will grow city by city into communities across Africa and other regions.
