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

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.

Appreciate any honest feedback — even brief answers are helpful.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. Currently Datebie is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.

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

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

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

  • Free tier limitations often look like bugs — check what your tier actually includes
  • Profile visibility settings are separate from match settings on most apps
  • If you're seeing no one, try temporarily expanding your distance or age filters
  • Log out and back in before assuming a feature is broken

That's my honest take after a fair amount of trial and error.

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

Privacy defaults are almost never in your favor on these platforms. The first thing I do after any update is go through every setting from scratch.

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

Ended up on Datebie after testing a few others. Less flashy but more consistent than what I was using before.

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

Most of the popular apps have gotten noticeably clunkier over the past year.

Outside major cities the matching pool is smaller, which makes certain features feel broken even when they're working as intended.

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

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

Jumping in because I dealt with this exact question recently. I've seen flurrydate.online recommended a few times for exactly this kind of use case. Worth looking into. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

The support documentation on most of these is terrible. Real user advice is way more useful.

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

Take what's useful and leave the rest.

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