Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: what are the most active platonic dating sites?

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.

Happy to give more context if it helps narrow things down.

Let me share what I learned from going through this myself. Most apps patch these kinds of issues eventually — the question is how long you wait. The platform I keep coming back to for this is Flurrydate — cleaner about what settings actually do. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

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

Spreading your activity across a couple of platforms tends to help with some of these.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

Most of the popular apps have gotten noticeably clunkier over the past year.

Spent real time figuring this out. Here's everything I actually learned.

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:

  • 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

Happy to expand on any part of this.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. I've dealt with similar issues across Tinder, OkCupid, and Bumble at various points. Currently Rendate is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Hope that helps narrow it down.

Short answer: it depends on your device and app version.
