Updates

Focus of this update is ‘finding the right friend’. We wanted to help you find the right person, who gets your vibe and keep the conversation going.  

🍀 Profile exchange on the Feed

Connecting’s goal is to find you a better friend, someone you can really talk to. Yes, you can hit it off through calls! But there are also times on the feed, when you find someone who really seems to get you. When you don’t want to miss out on these friends, use ‘feed profile exchange’. This enables you to carry on the conversation with someone you met on the feed! Don’t forget to write posts and profiles that show your personality to be better connected. 

One thing to be aware is that your diamonds will not be restored if your request gets denied. This is to prevent too many insincere profile exchange requests from being sent. So, please have enough chats with the other user, and see if the user wants to carry on the convo before sending the request!

🍀  Personality-type based suggestions on Today’s cards

There were repeated requests on getting connected to buddies who have something in common with me. Having same hobbies & interests, or someone with better chemistry.

However, because Connecting calls get connected real-time, it was difficult for us to put a ‘filter’ on the buddy you get connected via calls. Too many conditions on finding the buddy leads to longer wait time or worse, no possible calls at all. Therefore, we had to think of a way to make a better match without interfering with call experience. 

We have updated ‘Today’s cards’ to suggest users that better match your personality type, hobbies&interests, and more. ‘Today’s cards’ can be found on upper right corner of the main screen (3rd tab). One tip: age & gender preference of the users who show up on ‘Today’s cards’ is based on the call preferences you set.😉

Calls

Ratings that you give to the other user after the call is used on the matching algorithm to find you a better match. Also, if you continuously receive high ratings, you will be included as ‘Top 20%’ users, which means people who selected ‘popular mode’ will be connected to you. Then, you will be connected faster, and with users who are more likely to like you. 

You won’t be re-connected for 30 days. However, after 30 days, you can be rematched to the user. 

For the first 5-10 seconds when the call is connecting, you may not hear anything. However, if this continues, please check if you gave ‘Audio permission’ to the app, under ‘settings’ of the phone. Also, if you’re using WIFI, please change to Data. If all these don’t work, please ‘Contact us’ on profile tab (5th tab) for us to check. 

This happens when you or the caller’s network is unstable. If you’re using WIFI, switch to Data mode. If you cannot connect even after 30 seconds, please ‘Contact us’. We will restore your call ticket and diamonds. 

This happens when the buddy deleted the account or your profile. When the user deletes the account or the caller’s profile, both users can’t view each other’s profile. 

This happens when the other user chose to exit the chat room or deleted the account.
