How it works
If you want to comment on somebody’s photograph, follow these steps. Firstly, select the photo you like. Then, all you have to do is click on the ‘comment’ button and a small text box should appear. Think of your most witty remark or question and get typing! Once you’ve posted your comment, you and your match will be informed on the platform and via email. They’ll also be able to view your message at any time they wish.
Because we take your privacy and safety seriously, we’ve set this function so that all comments are only visible to both sender and recipient. To add an extra layer of security, all messages are then archived in the communication history between you and your match. We take complaints really seriously, so if you feel that someone may’ve been inappropriate towards you in any way, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with our Customer Care team.
