World ID Lite

World ID Lite is replacing the previous phone credential in World ID. World ID Lite relies on the user's identity wallet, such as World App, to verify a user's unique device.

The premise of World ID Lite is users having a unique device. This is more scalable, user friendly, and privacy-preserving than the previous phone credential, which was issued when a user verified their phone number in World App.

Benefits

World ID Lite has a number of benefits over the previous phone credential:

• Automatic Issuance: World ID Lite is automatically issued to all World App users with a unique device. No action needs to be taken by users to receive this credential.
• Privacy: Users can now receive a World ID without providing any information at all. Although verifying a phone number in World App has always been optional, users could previously only use World ID after they verified their phone number or verified at an Orb.
