FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The same answers as in the ArkLove app—matching, verification, subscriptions, privacy, and how to get the most from Discover.

Why am I not getting any messages?
Messages only open when there is a connection between two members. To start conversations, you need to interact with other profiles, such as liking someone. If both members show interest and match, messaging becomes available. If you are not receiving messages yet, try staying active, completing your profile, adding clear photos, and liking profiles you are genuinely interested in.
Why are likes and profile views blurry?
Likes and profile views are blurred because they are premium features. Members with a Plus or Gold subscription can unlock and view this information.
Why do some profiles always appear near the top?
Some profiles may appear higher in Discovery because they belong to Gold members. Gold members receive special visibility benefits as part of their subscription. This helps their profiles stand out more in certain areas of the app.
Where can I learn more about subscriptions?
You can view subscription details inside the app by going to: Settings > Account There you can see the available plans, features, and benefits included with each subscription.
How can I hide myself when viewing other profiles?
Plus and Gold members can use privacy features that allow them to hide their online status and browse profiles more privately. With these features, you can choose to be less visible while viewing others, and your profile may only be shown in certain situations, such as when you decide to like someone first. To learn more, go to: Settings > Account
Can I send images, GIFs, or voice messages to another user?
Yes. Voice messages are available for all members. Images and GIFs are available for Gold members only. These features are designed to make conversations more personal while keeping the community safe and respectful.
Why do some users have a gold-looking profile in Discovery?
Some profiles may appear with a gold style because the member has a Gold subscription. Gold members receive special features and benefits, and their profile may be visually highlighted in Discovery after you like or skip their profile.
Does verification mean the user is definitely who they say they are?
Verification means ArkLove reviewed the user's submitted verification photo and believes, to the best of our ability, that the person matches their profile. However, verification is not a guarantee of someone's identity, intentions, honesty, or safety. Always use your own judgment when talking to someone. Be cautious, protect your personal information, and if you decide to meet, meet in a public place. The verification badge is meant to add an extra layer of confidence, but it should never replace common sense or personal safety.
Why do I not see many profiles near me?
Search results can vary depending on your location, filters, and the number of active members in your area. ArkLove is still growing, so some areas may have more visible profiles than others.
Why are some profiles not visible?
Some members use privacy features such as Incognito Mode. This means their profile may only be visible in certain situations, such as when they choose to like another member first.
Do all profiles show location?
No. Not every member allows location access. Some members choose not to share their location or prefer to keep that information private.
Why does the number of visible profiles change?
Members are always joining, leaving, updating their settings, or becoming active again. Profile visibility can also change based on privacy settings and location permissions.
How do matches work on ArkLove?
Matches are mutual. A connection happens when both members show interest in each other.
How can members improve their chances of matching?
Staying active, completing the profile, adding clear photos, and keeping information up to date can help improve the experience.
Why does finding a match take time?
ArkLove is focused on building a real and intentional community. Meaningful connections can take time, especially as the community continues to grow.
What is the best way to use ArkLove?
Stay active, keep your profile complete, and allow connections to happen naturally. ArkLove is designed for meaningful matches, and building something real can take time.
What does Incognito Mode mean?
Incognito Mode gives members more privacy. A profile using Incognito may not be visible to everyone and may only appear in certain situations, such as after that member shows interest first.
Why am I seeing profiles farther away?
ArkLove may show profiles outside your immediate area when nearby results are limited, when filters are narrow, or when location information is unavailable.
Why do filters reduce my results?
The more specific the filters are, the fewer profiles may appear. Adjusting filters can help show more potential matches.
Can I match with someone who does not share location?
Yes. Location is only one part of the experience. Members can still like, match, and connect even if exact location access is not enabled.
Why did a profile disappear?
A profile may disappear if a member changes privacy settings, updates preferences, becomes inactive, deletes their account, or no longer matches your current filters.
What should I do if search results seem wrong?
Try adjusting filters, checking location permissions, updating the app, and making sure your profile is complete. If the issue continues, contact support so the account can be reviewed.
Why did I match with someone but they are not replying?
A match means both users showed interest, but it does not always mean the other person will reply right away. There are many possible reasons: They may have liked your profile and then closed the app. They may not have notifications turned on. They may be busy, unsure what to say, or they may have changed their mind. Sometimes people match and still decide not to continue the conversation. That can happen on any dating app. If someone does not reply after some time, the best thing to do is not overthink it. Keep moving forward, stay active, and focus on people who are also making an effort.
