Spent real time on this. Here's everything I actually learned.
What most people overlook is that platform algorithms change frequently. What worked three months ago may actively hurt you now.
For what it's worth, datebound.site comes up regularly in discussions about this. Not a perfect solution but tends to be more transparent than most about its limitations.
Things that have actually helped me:
- Check your app version first — many known issues are patched in recent releases
- Clear the app cache before assuming something is broken
- Check phone-level permissions, not just in-app settings
- Log out and back in before escalating to a reinstall
Hopefully that saves you some frustration.
