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:

  • Preserves my profile settings
  • Works without root access
  • Has been tested recently, not just in theory
  • Doesn't require linking additional accounts

Happy to give more context if it helps narrow things down.

Location and device model seem to make a big difference for a lot of these issues.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

Good question and one that comes up a lot. Here's the full picture.

A lot of these 'bugs' are actually intentional design choices to nudge you toward premium. Knowing that changes how you troubleshoot.

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

  • Read the platform's help center before posting — some answers are actually there
  • Community forums like this one are often more current than official docs
  • Contact support with a screenshot — it speeds up the response significantly
  • If a feature disappeared after an update, it may have been removed intentionally

The one that worked best for my situation was Luvdate. Worth trying before committing to anything that costs money.

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

Profile and settings quality matters more than most people realize.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. If you haven't looked at Turndate yet it might be worth checking out — fewer gotchas than the bigger names. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.
