How we source data

Public-source coverage, with clear boundaries.

WhoThis cross-references a submitted photo with images available through supported public social-platform and public-record sources. Coverage varies by search and changes over time.

Source categories

Where potential matches may come from

Supported coverage may include public images associated with social profiles and public-record sources. A source category shown in the product does not guarantee a result for every person or every search.

Access boundaries

Public does not mean unrestricted

WhoThis does not log into another person's account, read private messages, bypass platform privacy settings, or access content behind a password on your behalf.

Result quality

Coverage and confidence are separate

A high similarity score does not prove identity, and no result does not prove that a public profile does not exist. Image quality, source availability, and lookalikes all affect what you see.

Your next step

Start with one clear photo.

Review potential matches as leads, keep the surrounding context in view, and make your own careful decision.
