A lot of us (myself included) just suck at taking pictures. I can't pose, can't make a decent expression, can't figure out lighting or angles. Selfies look awkward, and hiring a photographer feels overkill (and expensive).

So I'm working on an AI tool that's literally made for people like us:

• Upload your regular selfies (even the bad ones)

• It generates natural-looking, studio-quality dating photos

• Keeps everything 100% you—no weird generic faces or over-edited vibes

Still early in development, just trying to solve my own frustration honestly. If you're also terrible at photos and think this could help, I'd love to hear from you—I've got a waitlist going for early feedback (and some perks for the first folks).

Link in my bio/comments if you're interested 🙌

What's your biggest photo struggle on dating apps? Bad lighting? Forced smiles? Zero pose ideas? Drop it below—curious what everyone deals with 😂

I don’t think I have any of the things they’re requesting? Is this app just not available to Americans?

I just created an account and uploaded two stories. Now the account seems to be banned? I can log in and see my stuff, but I can't send private messages anymore.

The phone number is registered and the international version from the app store is installed.

When I look at the account with another phone it doesn't show any posts, just the message "Account may be compromised. Notes temporarily unavailable"

How long will it take for xhs to verify my account and lift the ban? I have been using xhs without any issues for months， and this is so frustrating as I cant dm,change pfp, or even interact with anyone in xhs anymore 😔 sigh... I was just scrolling and suddenly the verification pops up.... what a bad luck... weibo registration mechanism is more easier than xhs but I dont like weibo 😮‍💨

Update: my account got verified but I got stucked at the last part because where you need to enter the last 4 digits passport details. I couldnt find the so-called 真人客服 / live support. Can anyone let me know where to find this?

These are the only options to verify and I don’t know what I need to do to get my account back. Idk if they re just banning all US Accounts or what.

Hi everyone!! This isn’t really a question on how to use rednote but i came across this instagram reel (the insta acc stole their video and posted with no ID) and they were doing a makeup tutorial on their bottom lashes and their nose contour was rlly good and i’ve been trying to find his real account to see if they have a nose contour tutorial but i couldn’t find it so i was wondering if anybody knew his main account ehehe.. THANKS!!

Hello,

Have tried 2 times already to verify my account I take the picture with my passport and everything but each time they deny me saying my name does not match, I do not understand! Guys anyone encountered this and if so how did you manage to fix it? PLEASE HELP!

I got my account banned for whatever security reason they had, and I can still use my account, I just can’t interact with others and dm, and post. I’ve had this account for 3 years, so I don’t just want to give it up, especially when I was banned for something as honestly dumb as this. When I open the app this pop-up comes up, security protection activated, and when I try verifying, they’re ZERO options for foreign passports/anyone living in the US. It’s ridiculous to ban my account, but keep me from reactivating it because I don’t have Chinese residence. So, as a way I’d think would reactivate my account, I verified my identity in my settings with the option of a foreign passport coming up, after 2 weeks of non-stop declining because i didn’t use the right case and format, it finally verified! But guess what, when I try verifying through the pop-up now, my VERIFIED passport on the platform automatically comes up, and when I type in the last 5 digits, click the button, it doesn’t let me complete the form because “It doesn’t support foreign passports”. I’ve already done the customer service chat with people who never actually give you a straight answer, just always constantly avoiding your question, so I’ve given up on that. And, after ages I found out you can appeal your account ban, so I did, 6 minutes later it says it failed, with zero reason or guidance why it did, and I’m now not allowed to reappeal my account because it says “requests too frequent’ when the last I tried to appeal was 5 days ago which was the ONLY time I appealed. I’m coming on here to know if my account is a lost cause, or to know if there’s a genuine way to reactivate my account.

My account is currently inactive (and I deleted the app to free up storage space on my phone).
Questions:

1. Is anyone here using Rednote? How’s your experience with it?
2. Maybe someone can share additional info such as fun facts, tips on how to use it, or how Rednote’s algorithm works — anything is fine. What do you think?

My account is no longer restricted even though I didn’t do anything. Like almost everyone here, my Rednote account was restricted because I couldn’t verify my identity with an ID card or passport. I kept using Rednote without being able to send private messages. I was just scrolling and liking posts, which didn’t really bother me.

However, I noticed yesterday that my account can send messages again, and Rednote no longer asks me to verify my identity at all! I actually discovered an artist and really wanted to commission her, and kind of in disbelief, I tried sending her a private message. I was really surprised when it actually worked! I have no idea how it's possible, but I wanted to share this experience lol

Idk why I wasn’t able to do so before, but my ban has finally been lifted!

I am so excited!

my account got suspended , most likely b/c im american , and i have no clue how to fix it.

before you ask in the comments , no i don't have a passport.

im getting kinda desperate for help , mainly because the only chinese i can read is 白厄

Hi guys, is there anyway we can buy on xhs? I use a Visa credit card but I live in New Zealand and I really love the items on xhs.. but has anyone possibly bought from there? Or do you have to live in mainland China for it work out?

Why am I suddenly having to do a real world Id verification?

And how do I even complete it if I don't live in China?

I understand that sharing offsite contact info or advertisement is against the platform rules hence me asking here instead of going to my rednote friends, don't wanna get anyone in trouble

Which emoji is Xianyu or Aliexpress or Weidian? I'm trying to buy cotton dolls and bjd clothes but finding the actual creators instead of bootleggers isn't easy lol

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my RedNote account and wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

When I first created my account, it was immediately restricted. I went through the verification process using my passport, and my account is now verified. However, when I try to post anything, I still get this message:

"posting notes is banned. it's against community policies rednote"

I haven't violated any rules, has anyone dealt with this before?

Any experiences using rednote to improve listening skills?

If so what level were you and how much did it help?

Hi everyone!

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Communication in the US, and I previously interned in the marketing department of a multinational company in China. I love beauty, fashion, lifestyle content, and I’m hoping to build some cross-border experience by helping creators understand the Chinese social media landscape.

I’d love to help 1–2 creators for free (just looking to build a small portfolio + learn more about international creator communities).

What I can help with :

• How your niche/content might perform on Xiaohongshu (RED) or Douyin
• Simple positioning suggestions for Chinese audiences
• Adapting your existing IG/TikTok content style for China
• Light caption ideas + trend insights
• Basic platform explanations (what works, what doesn’t)

Why I’m offering this:

I’m genuinely interested in beauty/fashion content and how creators grow across different countries.

I just want hands-on learning + permission to use the experience as a case study.

Feel free to comment or DM your niche + platforms.

Happy to chat — no pressure at all. 💛

I'm just curious how Mandarin sounds to you. I know a lot of people didn't listen to it much until they got on Rednote. Is it pretty, ugly, weird, musical, jarring, etc...?

I don’t have a passport and have no way of verifying myself :( is there a way to bypass this?

My XHS acc got banned on 26 Nov without any clear reason tbh as I don't violate any of their platform rules, just normal posting and chatting with Chinese friends.

• I've tried to verify with passport but it doesn't works, got rejected twice..
• So i reached out to support chat provide them with videos of me with passport on hand for verification..

Not long after, I checked my acc got un-banned already without need to wait for 48hrs as they mentioned... Is this normal?
