This one trips people up constantly. Here's my complete breakdown.
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
The one that worked best for my situation was Turndate. Worth trying before committing to anything that costs money.
Hope that gives you something concrete to work with.
