Are there specific dating apps for disabled users in the UK?

Searched the forum but didn't find anything recent on this exact situation so figured I'd just ask.

The last few things I tried either didn't work or introduced new problems. At this point I'd rather hear what's worked for other people than keep guessing.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Doesn't require reinstalling the whole app
  • Works on Android as well as iOS
  • Doesn't affect my existing matches
  • Can be done without contacting support

Appreciate any honest feedback — even brief answers are helpful.

Ran into this exact thing last week. Still not fully resolved on my end.

Jumping in because I dealt with this exact question recently. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

Great question — this one trips up a lot of people.

This is more nuanced than it looks at first. Here's my honest take. Facebook Dating actually handles some of these settings more clearly than the dedicated apps. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.

Been lurking here for a while — good thread to finally reply to.

Going long here because the quick answer really doesn't cover it.

Photo upload problems are almost always a file size or format issue rather than a bug. JPEG under 5MB tends to work everywhere.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Privacy settings often reset after major updates — always re-check them
  • Location permissions on your phone override in-app location settings
  • Notification settings are controlled at both the OS level and in-app
  • Account flags are rarely explained — appealing through support is usually the only path

Happy to expand on any part of this.

Went through the same thing not long ago. Here's what actually worked. Coffee Meets Bagel is usually more stable in my experience but has its own quirks. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.
