Taking a Break from Online Dating
Sometimes you need a break. Learn how Snooze Mode lets you pause while keeping your account safe.
What is Snooze Mode?
Snooze Mode temporarily hides your profile from others on the platform without deleting your account. Your matches and conversations stay saved, so you can return whenever you're ready. It's designed to help you take a break from dating without losing your connections.

Tips for using Snooze Mode
Communicate first: If you have active conversations, let matches know you are taking a break so they do not think you ghosted them
Set realistic duration: Choose a time frame that aligns with your actual needs (you can always adjust)
Use for self-care: It is okay to prioritize your mental health and well-being over dating
Remember: Snooze Mode is not the same as blocking or reporting. If you need to report someone, do so before activating Snooze Mode.
Mental health matters: Dating should be fun, not stressful. If you are feeling overwhelmed, take a break. Your matches will still be there when you return.
