Turn on Private Mode
Switch it on whenever you want more discretion. You'll continue browsing normally, but your visibility narrows immediately to the people you've chosen to engage with.
Browse on Your Own Terms
Private Mode lets you explore the app without being seen by everyone in return. Stay visible only to the people you've liked or messaged first, or use Hide From Search to disappear from specific places while staying visible everywhere else.
How does it work?
Stay active, without being seen by everyone
2
Stay visible only to who you choose
Once it's on, only members you've liked or messaged first can see you. Everyone else simply won't come across your profile while you're browsing.
3
Hide from specific places, if you want to go further
If full privacy isn't quite what you need, Hide From Search lets you disappear from specific spots, like Discover or Highlights, while staying visible everywhere else.
Paid feature
Participate on your terms, seen only by who you choose
There are plenty of real reasons to want more discretion, easing back into dating quietly, not wanting to be seen by people in your own circles, or simply preferring to browse before being browsed. For some, it's also tied to professional reputation, plenty of jobs come with real, practical reasons to manage who sees your profile, not just a personal preference, but a genuine consideration that comes with the work itself. Private Mode doesn't mean stepping back from the app, it means staying fully active while controlling exactly who gets to see you.
And if what you're after is more targeted than an all-or-nothing choice, Hide From Search lets you stay out of specific places without disappearing altogether, so you're never limited to just two extremes.
- Browse without being visible to the wider community
- Stay visible only to people you've liked or messaged
- Keep participating fully, just more discreetly
- Hide from specific places like Discover or Highlights
- Choose exactly who gets to find you
