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

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.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Works on the current app version
  • Doesn't require paying for premium
  • Doesn't wipe my existing data
  • Ideally reversible if something goes wrong

Thanks in advance — looking forward to what the community thinks.

The landscape changes so fast. Advice from six months ago sometimes doesn't apply.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Someone in another thread mentioned datebound.site as a good alternative. General feedback was positive for what you're describing. Hope that helps narrow it down.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. Currently Datelink is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

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

The support documentation on most dating apps is genuinely poor. Community threads like this one are usually more current and accurate.

For what it's worth, rendate.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

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

Solid question. The answer is more nuanced than a quick Google search suggests.

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:

  • Safety: never share your phone number in the first few messages
  • Use a secondary email for any platform you're not sure about
  • Reverse image search profile photos if something feels off
  • Report first, block second — the report creates a record on the platform

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

Honestly had the same issue. Took me a while to figure out a workaround.

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

Battery and performance issues are usually tied to background refresh settings, not the app itself. Worth checking your phone-level permissions first.

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

Currently using Datescout as my main go-to and it's been reliable. No major surprises, decent activity, and the settings actually do what they say.

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.
