Frequently Asked Questions

How do intention modes work?

When you set your intention mode, you'll primarily see profiles of users with compatible modes. This helps ensure that everyone you interact with has similar expectations for how conversations and connections will develop.

Can I change my intention mode?

Yes! You can update your intention mode at any time in your profile settings. Your mode reflects your current mindset, and it's okay for that to change.

Will I still see users with different modes?

The app prioritizes showing you compatible profiles, but the exact visibility depends on various factors. The goal is to help you find connections that match your current intentions.

What if I don't select an intention mode?

If you haven't selected a mode, your profile won't display an intention indicator and you'll be visible to users of all modes. We recommend selecting one to improve your matching experience.

Do intention modes affect messaging?

No, intention modes don't restrict who can message you. They primarily help with discovery and profile browsing, making it easier to find people with compatible expectations.
