What is Comment Filter?
Comment Filter is a feature that offers more control over the words, phrases and emojis daters see in their incoming Likes with Comments. We believe that having the ability to filter certain comments can detour negative interactions before they start, creating a safer and more positive experience on the app.
How does Comment Filter work?
Comments can be filtered either automatically, based on specific words, or both.
If the toggle for Auto Filter is On then incoming Likes with Comments that contain disrespectful language will be automatically filtered.
To change your Auto Filter settings:
- Tap on Settings > Safety > Comment Filter
- Toggle the Auto Filter On or Off
You can also filter comments based on specific words, customized by you.
To add a word, phrase, or emoji to your chosen list, follow these steps:
- Tap on Settings > Safety > Comment Filter
- Under block specific words, add any words you do not want to see in comments
Your customized list can be added to, updated, or removed at any time.
Ultimately, if another person sends you a Like with Comment that includes content that is detected as harmful, or content from your personal list of hidden words, there will be no notification shown for that like or comment.
What happens if I receive a Like with Comment that contains an auto filtered word or something from my hidden list?
If someone sends you a comment with content that is blocked by either type of Comment Filter, their profile will only appear in your Hidden Likes category with the note “Comment Hidden.” If you choose to click into that person’s profile, you will see their full comment. You may then choose to match, skip, or report that profile.
If you don’t want to view the comments from your hidden likes, you don’t have to. You can delete these profiles without ever reading them by tapping Delete at the bottom of the screen.
Will comments that I have already received be impacted by Comment Filter?
Yes. Auto filter is turned on by default once users upgrade to a qualifying version of the app. Some previous harmful comments may be retroactively hidden.
Will the sender know their comment was hidden?
No. The sender will not be informed that their comment was blocked.
Do I have to use the Comment Filter?
Our goal is to support daters by making sure they’re aware of the safety features that are available to them. Both the auto filter and personalized word versions of Comment Filter are completely optional, but we want you to know they’re there throughout the evolution of your dating journey.
