How to Use Dating on Vevioz

Vevioz Dating becomes available only after your account, profile, and dating settings pass the readiness checks used across web, API, and mobile. This guide explains what to complete, how visibility works, and what to fix if discovery is still locked.

What This Article Helps You Do

• Understand the exact requirements before dating unlocks.
• Complete dating setup for a new or existing account.
• Use visibility correctly so you can browse discovery or appear in it.
• Troubleshoot the most common reasons discovery stays blocked.

Before You Start

• Your core profile must be complete.
• You need at least one photo uploaded directly to Vevioz. Imported social avatars do not count as the required local photo.
• Your dating setup must be saved with relationship intent, gender preference, age range, and distance.
• Dating discovery only opens when the public discovery launch stage is published by Vevioz. A ready profile alone does not override that stage.

Set Up Dating If You Are New

1. Register normally or with a supported social login.
2. Finish the startup flow instead of leaving it halfway.
3. Upload at least one local photo on Vevioz. Cover is optional.
4. Complete the Dating step by selecting what you are looking for, who you want to see, your age range, and your distance.
5. When discovery is available, change Dating visibility to Ready for discovery launch if you want your profile to appear to other people.

Set Up Dating If You Already Have an Account

1. Open Settings and go to Dating setup.
2. Review the readiness panel. It shows whether your profile row exists, your preferences row exists, your local photo is ready, your core profile is complete, and discovery is open or still blocked.
3. Fill in the required fields and save your dating setup.
4. Once discovery is live, switch visibility from Hidden until discovery launches to Ready for discovery launch if you want to be shown to others.

How Discovery and Visibility Work

• Discovery only returns accounts that are eligible and discoverable.
• If your account is ready but visibility is still hidden, you can browse discovery while your own profile stays hidden from other people.
• Likes, passes, and matches use the same readiness checks across web, API, and mobile.
• Direct requests do not bypass server-side readiness validation. If your account is not ready, discovery actions stay blocked.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Dating discovery is still blocked.

Check the readiness panel on the dating page or in dating settings. The usual causes are an incomplete core profile, no local photo, incomplete dating setup, or public discovery not being published yet.

I can browse, but people cannot see me.

Your visibility is still hidden. Change Dating visibility to Ready for discovery launch after discovery is available.

I registered with social login, but dating is still locked.

Social signup can import profile data and avatar, but you still need at least one photo uploaded directly to Vevioz before dating unlocks.

I uploaded a cover, but dating is still locked.

Cover is optional. The actual requirement is at least one local uploaded photo, completed dating setup, and a ready core profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a local photo?

A local photo is a picture uploaded directly to Vevioz. Imported profile images from social login do not satisfy the dating photo requirement.

Can I keep my profile hidden and still use dating?

Yes. If your account is ready, you can browse discovery while your visibility remains hidden. Other people will not see you until you switch visibility to the discovery-ready state.

Why is my profile ready but matching is still closed?

That usually means Vevioz has not published the public discovery stage yet. Matching does not open before that stage, even if your account is ready.

Best Practices

• Upload a clear profile photo directly to Vevioz before opening discovery.
• Use a realistic age range and distance so results stay relevant.
• Write a short headline and bio that explain what you want clearly.
• Keep visibility hidden until your profile is fully ready to be shown.

Need More Help?

If dating is still unavailable after you complete the steps above, open dating settings, confirm every readiness item is green, then contact support through the Vevioz help center with screenshots of the blocked state and the exact page URL.
