Priya K

I looked at what changed since last year a while back, before I trusted my own conclusion. The measurable difference came down to the quality of the profile prompts, which is the first thing I would look at now.

I ran two at a time for four weeks each once properly, so I am fairly confident in the shape of it. The short answer is that how support responds to a real problem shapes the first fortnight more than anything. The signal was clear every time in replies rather than in match counts. I would sanity-check this locally genuinely, and adjust as you go.

I asked around before drawing any conclusion with a bit of patience, and the results surprised me. In practice photo quality on both sides explains why old recommendations age badly.

What separated the usable ones from the rest:

• Find out whether you can hide a profile without deleting it — most apps are quiet about this.
• How much of your social graph it wants — it decided things for me.
• Find out whether a paid feature interrupts the conversation — check it on a real account, not a demo.
• Look at whether the sign-up asks for a phone number
• Whether read receipts exist — genuinely worth knowing up front.
