Tripsbadge Help Centre
Getting started
- What is Tripsbadge?: A travel app where every trip is proved on the spot, and your passport fills with badges you really earned.
- Create an account and log in: Sign up with email, Google, Apple or Facebook, and confirm your email.
- The phone apps (Android and iPhone): Install the app for the camera, background ride sharing and offline riding.
Posting trips
- Post a trip with the camera: Tap +, take photos where you are and post. The checks happen in the background.
- Record a video (and get the verified shield): Hold + or the camera button to record. A checked video makes your badges permanent.
- How places are checked (and why a post is blocked): GPS, the local time and your network must agree with the place. Here is what each check means.
- The place name is wrong: You cannot change the place yourself, but you can report it. Our team checks and fixes it.
Badges & passport
- Silver and gold medals: Photos earn silver (temporary). A checked video turns it gold (permanent, for good).
- Your passport, milestones and ranks: Countries, states, continents and milestones fill your passport and earn points for your traveller rank.
- Permanent Residency (PR) and Citizenship: Keep coming back to a country and move up: Visitor → Resident → Citizen.
- Share a badge to your story: Make a picture of your trip and badge for Instagram or WhatsApp stories.
Ideas & Videos
- Videos: trip videos to scroll: Full-screen trip videos, one at a time. Swipe up for the next.
- Ideas: travel tips from people who were there: Swipe short tips, save the good ones and share your own.
- Choose Ideas, Videos or both: See only what you like: Ideas, Videos, or both (the starting choice).
Ride together
- Start or join a ride: See your whole group on one live map. Make it public for anyone to join, or private for your group.
- Private rides and PINs: Keep a ride for your group: share the link, and add a PIN for extra safety.
- SOS, chat, voice and offline mode: Hold SOS to alert your group. Chat, one-tap messages, group voice and riding with no signal.
- Ride troubleshooting: Location not moving, voice not working, cannot join? Start here.
Account, Gold & privacy
- Tripsbadge Gold: A membership with longer badges, a streak shield, priority review, ride voice and more.
- Get the verified (blue) tick: Prove who you are with an ID check. Your ID photos are deleted after review.
- Privacy, blocking and deleting your account: Control who sees your trips, block or report people, and delete everything if you want.
Troubleshooting
- Camera or microphone not working: Black screen, “Camera is off”, or videos without sound.
- Slow, not loading or out of date: Pages not loading, the app feels slow, or a new feature is missing.
