what does the icons on flatmate mean

The icons on Flatmates usually indicate account verification or listing details, depending on where you see them. For example, Flatmates says verification icons appear under a member’s name and on listings to show which social accounts have been verified.

What they usually mean

  • Profile/listing verification icons: these show the person has verified certain social accounts.
  • Listing or room details icons: on the site, icons can also be used as quick visual cues for things like room or house information, since icons are commonly used to signal actions or status.
  • Site-specific feature icons: if you saw icons near a listing or button, they may relate to a feature like boosting a listing, which is described in a Flatmates-related design reference as a “Boost” button that moves a listing to the top.

Most likely interpretation

If you mean the small icons beside a user name, they’re probably verification badges. If you mean icons on a property card, they’re likely shorthand for listing attributes such as occupancy or features, though the exact meaning depends on the icon set shown.

Best way to read them

  • Check the page section where the icon appears.
  • Look for nearby labels or hover text.
  • If it’s a profile icon, it usually refers to verification.
  • If it’s on a listing, it usually summarizes house or room details visually.

Example

A verified member may have social icons shown under their name, while a listing may use icons to quickly communicate key details without lots of text.
