A Safe Online Dating Guide: 6 Things to Watch For
How to use verification badges, blocking/reporting and privacy settings to stay safe on online dating apps.
Look for verified profiles
Users with a verification badge have proven their identity with a live-taken photo. It doesn't eliminate the risk of fake photos entirely, but it's a strong trust signal.
Blocking is mutual
When you block someone who's bothering you, neither of you can see each other in Discover, messages, likes or posts anymore. You can undo this anytime from Menu > Blocked Users.
Report it, don't stay quiet
If you see an inappropriate message, post or profile, use the report button — your report gets reviewed by the admin team.
Set your own privacy settings
You decide who can like/message you, whether you show up in Discover, and when your compatibility percentage is visible on your profile, all from Privacy settings. Anonymous mode also lets you use the platform without showing your name or photo.
Before your first meetup
As with any app, it's always a good idea to meet for the first time in a crowded, public place and let someone you trust know your plans.
