This site records what the service publishes; it does not troubleshoot or offer workarounds. Feeld's own help page is https://support.feeld.co/hc/en-gb/articles/21059688394140-Age-verification-for-specific-locations. The record lists 3 methods; availability depends on the service and account: Mobile operator check, Facial age estimation (face scan) and Photo ID. If you do not complete the check, the service states: Feeld’s article: new members cannot complete registration; existing members’ accounts stay banned until they verify, leave the area (if the requirement was by location only) or the account is terminated after a year of inactivity. “If you fail all of the above options, you will unfortunately not be able to use Feeld in that location.” Applies by physical location or by a UK phone number: “If age verification is required based on the phone number associated with your account, you must verify, even if you leave that location”.
