Essential Settings for Discretion

  • Lock your device: Use a strong passcode, fingerprint, or face ID every single time.
  • Set specific check-in times: Designate moments in your day for profile management to stay focused.
  • Use a separate browser profile: Keep your dating activity isolated from your personal browsing.
  • Update regularly: Install the latest security patches for your phone's operating system and browser.

Common Oversights to Avoid

Lock Screen Alerts

Even with your screen dark, notifications can reveal details. Disable previews in your phone's main settings.

Shared Device Access

If a tablet or computer is communal, use a separate user account and never allow browsers to save your login.

Automatic Photo Sync

Cloud services like iCloud or Google Photos may back up your camera roll. Review and adjust these settings for privacy.
