Account & sign in
I forgot my password.
Tap "Forgot password?" on the sign-in page and enter your registered email. We'll send a link to set a new password. If it doesn't arrive, check your Spam or Promotions folder.
How do I change my name or email?
Open Profile, then Settings. Your display name and email are at the top. For a new email, follow the confirmation link we send.
How do I delete my account?
Open Profile, Settings, then Delete account at the bottom. Deletion is permanent: your biodata, photo, messages and wali details are removed too.
Biodata
My biodata hasn't been approved yet.
Once submitted, each biodata is reviewed by an admin, and you'll get a notification when it's done. If the admin leaves a note, fix what they asked and submit again.
Who can see my biodata?
Only members of the opposite gender whose biodata is also verified. Your real name, phone number, date of birth, workplace and parents' names are never shown.
When is my photo shown clearly?
Your photo is always blurred for other members. It is shown clearly only at the nadzor stage, and only to your ta'aruf partner.
How do I hide my biodata for a while?
Turn on Rest mode in Settings, then Privacy. While it's on, your biodata doesn't appear in search.
Ta'aruf & nadzor
How do I send a ta'aruf request?
Open a biodata you're interested in, tap "Send a ta'aruf request", and write an introduction of at least 50 characters. You can have 3 requests waiting for an answer at once.
My request was declined. Can I ask again?
Yes, to the same person after 30 days. Accept it with an open heart; in sha Allah something better is coming.
My request says "On hold". Why?
You or that member are in a ta'aruf with someone else. The request isn't cancelled: it can still be declined, and accepted again once that ta'aruf ends. If that ta'aruf moves on to khitbah, held requests are cancelled.
How long does a ta'aruf room last?
A ta'aruf room lasts 30 days with 20 messages between you both. Then it moves on to nadzor or ends kindly. You can have only one active ta'aruf.
What is nadzor, and what about the wali?
Nadzor is a meeting to see each other, with a wali or mahram present, in a safe place. The akhwat's wali contact is shared with the ikhwan at this stage, once she agrees.
Safety
A member is behaving inappropriately.
Open their biodata or the ta'aruf room, tap the ⋯ menu, then Report. An admin will review it. You can also block them so you no longer see or contact each other.
Someone asked me for money or personal contacts.
Never transfer money or share financial details with another member, whatever the reason. Personal contacts may not be asked for before nadzor either. Report the member so an admin can act.
Is my data safe?
Details that identify you are never shown to other members, and ta'aruf rooms are overseen by admins. The Privacy Policy has the details.
