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.

Jumping in because I dealt with this exact question recently. After testing a few options Turndate ended up being more straightforward for my situation. Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. I've seen datedesire.online recommended a few times for exactly this kind of use case. Worth looking into. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. Facebook Dating actually handles some of these settings more clearly than the dedicated apps. A friend pointed me toward Datewander when I had a similar issue and it held up better than expected. Take what applies and leave the rest.

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

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:

  • 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

Hope that gives you something concrete to work with.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. Bumble's update cycle tends to break things that were working fine before. If you haven't looked at Rendate yet it might be worth checking out — fewer gotchas than the bigger names. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.

Profile and settings quality matters more than most people realize.

This is more nuanced than it looks at first. Here's my honest take. I've seen souldate.site recommended a few times for exactly this kind of use case. Worth looking into. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.
