Selfie and ID check
Signup asks for a selfie and a photo of a government ID, and our team reviews them.
Safety
Safety and respect, built in
From signup to your first date, You+Love is designed so you can meet new people with confidence.
How the app looks out for you
Every member agrees to our Community Guidelines, and our team enforces them.
Adults only
Everyone must be 18 or older, and you only ever see people 18 and over.
Voice first
Every call starts with 5 minutes of voice. Video opens for the last 2, and either of you can choose to stay on voice.
Private by design
Calls happen in the app and aren’t recorded. Nobody sees your phone number or email.
A check-in after every call
Did you feel disrespected? Did anything make you feel unsafe? If something made you feel unsafe, the match ends, your plans with them are canceled, and our team takes a look. After 10 answers, a profile shows the share of call partners who didn’t feel disrespected or unsafe.
Report and block
Report or block anyone from their profile, during a call, or in your chat. Once you block someone, you won’t see each other in Discover or Matches, and the calls and dates you had planned are canceled.
Pause anytime
Need a break? Pause your account to hide your profile from new people.
Photo guidelines
Recent, clear photos, and no nudity or explicit content. Location details are removed from the photos you upload.
