    Connect

    When someone you liked likes you back, it is mutual. You both get a notification and a new conversation opens.

    • Only mutual likes can message each other
    • Block at any time to end a connection
  3. 03

    Start talking

    Say hello in chat, then move to a voice or video call from the same conversation when it feels right.

    • Read receipts and a typing indicator
    • Calls without sharing phone numbers
  4. 04

    Keep it going

    Your chats and call history stay in the app, and notifications let you know when someone replies or you miss a call.

    • Want to meet someone new right away? Go live for random calls.
    • Prefer a group? Join a live room.
