Choosing well

Check platform access

Across the category, listings support Android, iOS, web, or a combination of these. Confirm Android support before signing up if you use a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone or tablet.

A web option can help when an app is unavailable on your device. Check whether video calls and other key features work on the platform you plan to use.

Review identity choices

Look at the gender and orientation fields each service presents while you build a profile. Pick one with labels that describe you accurately.

These settings can affect who appears in matching results, so read the profile and discovery controls before creating an account.

Understand matching methods

Matching methods differ between services. Look for an explanation of how profiles are suggested and what controls you have over discovery.

If you prefer to talk before meeting, check whether the service includes in-app video calls.

Review free and paid access

Look for identity verification

The list lets you compare whether services provide identity checks. Read how a service describes its checks and whether verification is optional or required.

Use the service's privacy and account controls to decide what information you want to share.
