Profile-first onboarding
ToChat begins with a multi-step profile setup that includes an optional invitation code, birthday selection, self-introduction audio, and profile photo upload. This flow shows that the app expects users to build a social identity before entering the full experience.
The birthday step signals an age gate, while audio and photo steps help users present themselves to others. People who prefer anonymous browsing may find this setup more personal than they want.
This gives the section a clearer user value by connecting the main feature to a concrete mobile use case, session goal, or replay reason.
Audio, photos, and friend discovery
The self-intro screen asks users to record a short voice introduction, and the photo screen invites multiple profile images. These features can help nearby friends or matches understand a user's personality before starting a chat.
Voice and photo tools can make discovery feel more expressive, but they also involve sensitive media choices. Users should decide how much personal content they want to share before finishing setup.

Permissions and privacy controls
Android settings show camera, location, microphone, notifications, storage, overlay, mobile data, and battery behavior. These settings line up with profile photos, voice intros, location-aware discovery, and alert delivery.
Users should grant camera, microphone, and location only when they intend to use those features. Notification and overlay settings can be adjusted later if the app becomes too intrusive.
