Profile & Settings

How do I edit my profile?▼

Go to Settings > Edit Profile. You can update your photos, bio, preferences, and personal information at any time.

What makes a good profile?▼

Clear, recent photos that show your face, an honest and engaging bio, and completed profile sections. Be specific and authentic — generic phrases get skipped.

Can I hide my profile temporarily?▼

Yes. Switch on Incognito Mode in your settings to hide your profile from search results while still browsing and messaging existing matches.

How do I delete my account?▼

Go to Settings > Account > Deactivate. This hides your profile immediately. Contact support if you want your data permanently removed.

What photos can I upload?▼

Photos should be of you, recent, and appropriate. No nudity, no photos of children, and at least one photo must clearly show your face.

Matching & Messaging

How does matching work?▼

Browse suggested profiles, use search filters, or see who's viewed your profile or liked you. There's no single algorithm — you're in control of who you connect with.

How do I start a conversation?▼

Match with someone and send them a message. If you're stuck, use our icebreaker suggestions or conversation games to get things started naturally.

Why didn't they respond?▼

There are many reasons — they may not have seen it, may not feel a connection, or may not be active. Don't take it personally; focus on mutual interest.

Can I undo a block?▼

Yes — go to Settings > Blocked Users and select 'Unblock'.

What are disappearing messages?▼

You can set messages to disappear after a set time (1 minute to 24 hours). Great for more private conversations.
