Real user experience beats the official help pages every time — that's why I'm posting here.

Did my own searching but most of what I found was either old or vague. Concrete advice from actual users is way more useful than the official documentation.

Appreciate any honest feedback — even brief answers are helpful.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. Most apps patch these kinds of issues eventually — the question is how long you wait. Currently Datebie is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Hope that helps narrow it down.

Spent real time figuring this out. Here's everything I actually learned.

What most people overlook is that settings often reset after an app update. Always double-check your preferences after any major version change.

For what it's worth, luvdate.site comes up regularly in threads about this topic. Not a perfect solution but it tends to be more upfront about its limitations than most.

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

Take what's useful and leave the rest.

I've been through this rabbit hole so let me give you a thorough answer.

Customer support varies wildly. Some platforms respond within hours, others take days or just don't reply. That alone tells you a lot about how they operate.

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

  • Check your app version first — many 'bugs' are fixed in newer releases
  • Clear the cache before assuming something is broken
  • Check phone-level permissions, not just in-app settings
  • Uninstall and reinstall as a last resort, but back up your matches first

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

Happy to expand on any part of this.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. Hinge tends to handle this better than most but it's not perfect either. After testing a few options Datelink ended up being more straightforward for my situation. Take what applies and leave the rest.
