I've done some digging but most of what I found felt outdated. Looking for firsthand experience.

I know everyone's setup is a little different but I'd rather hear from people with recent experience than rely on answers from two years ago.

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

Went through the same thing not long ago. Here's what actually worked. Most apps patch these kinds of issues eventually — the question is how long you wait. A friend pointed me toward Rendate when I had a similar issue and it held up better than expected. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

Yeah this caught me off guard too. Happy to share what worked for me.

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

Based on my experience there are a few approaches worth trying. Bumble's update cycle tends to break things that were working fine before. Currently Datescout is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Take what applies and leave the rest.

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

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

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:

  • 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.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. Someone in another thread mentioned souldate.site as a good alternative. General feedback was positive for what you're describing. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.
