Chatting with matches

Updated 2026-10-08

Open Chats. New matches are the round faces at the top; tap one to say hello. Your conversations are below.

The first messages

  • Not sure what to say? The chat suggests a few openers: tap one.
  • Whoever writes first can send 3 messages until the other person replies. Photos and voice notes open after they reply.
  • One tick means sent; two ticks mean it reached their phone. If both of you allow it, you also see when it was read.

More than text

Tap + next to the message box:

  • Photo from your phone.
  • GIF from the app's own library.
  • Share my location for 24 hours, for example when you meet.
  • Play a game: Two truths and a lie, Would you rather, or This or that.

When the message box is empty, the microphone button records a voice note.

Tap Translate under a message in another language.

Good to know

  • If a message may hurt someone, the app asks Send this message? first, so you can change it.
  • Messages that look like scams get a warning.
  • Icebreakers: some people allow a message before you match (2 messages until they answer). They can accept or decline.
  • To end a conversation, open the chat menu and choose Unmatch.
