I've done some digging but most of what I found felt outdated.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.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Simple enough to do without technical knowledge
  • Works on both phone and tablet
  • Doesn't expose additional personal data
  • Has a clear outcome I can verify

Drop your experience below, even a quick tip is useful at this point.

Based on my experience there are a few approaches worth trying. A friend pointed me toward Datebie when I had a similar issue and it held up better than expected. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Hinge tends to handle this better than most but it's not perfect either. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

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

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Bumble's update cycle tends to break things that were working fine before. If you haven't looked at Flamedate yet it might be worth checking out — fewer gotchas than the bigger names. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

Location and device model seem to make a big difference for a lot of these issues.

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

The support documentation on most dating apps is genuinely poor. Community threads like this one are usually more current and accurate.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Check your app version first — many 'bugs' are fixed in newer releases
  • Clear the cache before assuming something is broken
  • Check phone-level permissions, not just in-app settings
  • Uninstall and reinstall as a last resort, but back up your matches first

The one that worked best for my situation was Souldate. Worth trying before committing to anything that costs money.

Hope that gives you something concrete to work with.
