iDates Review October 2022

The registration process is free and simple and would only take a minute. Anyone can sign up using three options: via personal e-mail, Facebook, or Google+.

By signing up using e-mail, you have to provide the necessary information. The first step is to choose your gender. You may click on female or male gender on the choices. Then you have to choose the gender of the person whom you are looking for. It's not necessary to make it heterosexual. Women can choose women, while men can choose men as well. The next step is to input the username and password of your preference. You cannot have the username that has already been registered. The third and last step is to declare your age and type your email address in the last field.

Once you acknowledge the Terms and Conditions, Communication Guidelines, and Privacy Policy, you will be redirected to your profile. You will be notified that iDates has sent you an email. However, you can already use the site or the app even without verification. 

When a user signs up with Facebook or Google+, personal details lifted from those websites are automatically imported onto iDates.

Finding a chat mate is not tricky because lots of members of the opposite gender would fill your inbox with messages. Searching for members is easy, and there's no need to be a paid member to avail of the feature.

For the search function, essential information can be filled in like gender, age, and location. Matches are not suggested, so most of the browsing is done by the user. However, there are live notifications that display any member who is around the area or willing to chat.

There is a "call-to-action" button in a sticker form on the contact for direct messages. However, direct messages can also be sent through coins.

For every new sign-up, a member is given 100 coins, and a direct message would cost 50 coins. Once coins have run out, you need to purchase them again in the app or on the website.

Once registration is complete, the user can then fill out the information form to complete his/ her in the profile.

A user's profile page has four parts: short profile description or "About Me," Facts, Personal Information, and Photo Gallery.

For the short profile description, there is a text field available for filling out. You can find it on the top part. The username, age, and narrative part about yourself are editable. You have to follow some guidelines so your username will not be red-flagged. Sexual meanings, violence, racism, religion, and words that are insulting will be removed. Advertisement and contact details are also not allowed to be a member's username. For the "About Me" part, you have to make sure not to post inappropriate details, just like for the username, to avoid other members from being offended. Although you signed up to flirt with other members, it is greatly discouraged that you type sexual terms and texts with pornographic implications. 

For the "Facts," you'll find the details about interests, relationship status, physical characteristics, habits, education, work, and language/s spoken. 

Personal Information can only be seen by the member. It is not published on his/her page. It contains the birthdate and email address.

Lastly, you can upload a profile photo, provided that you will not upload photos with the following content:

• Multiple people
• Blurred or unrecognizable face
• Minors
• Pornography and explicit images
• Advertisements and contact information
• Drugs
• Anyone else but you
