Frequently asked questions

Is Flirty free?

Yes. Flirting, matching, and chatting cost nothing. Premium tiers add extras like Viewer insights, Incognito Mode, and larger monthly allowances, but the core app is free and stays that way.

What actually happens when the 24-hour timer runs out?

The match ends, and the chat and any media in it are removed. The timer starts the moment a flirt is accepted. If a conversation is going somewhere you can extend it, and premium plans can force reset the clock back to a full 24 hours.

Why can’t I message someone before they accept?

By design. It means nobody’s inbox fills with messages from strangers, and an accepted flirt tells you something real: they looked at you and said yes.

Does the other person know I declined them?

No. A declined flirt simply disappears. The same goes for blocking: they aren’t notified.

How accurate is the distance shown on profiles?

Close enough to be useful, not precise enough to locate you. Distances are worked out from a coarse location, and your exact position is never shown to anyone.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Through the App Store or Google Play. They handle the billing, so only you can cancel. You keep your premium features until the end of the period you’ve already paid for. Full steps are in the billing guide.

Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?

No, and this catches people out. Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google, so cancel there first, then delete your account. Otherwise you’ll keep being charged.

Can I get my data?

Yes. Request an export from Settings and you’ll get a download link covering your profile, content, and activity. Large exports take a few minutes.

Someone is asking me for money. What do I do?

Stop talking to them, and report them. Nobody you have met on a dating app needs your money, whether for a flight, a fee, an emergency, or an investment. Reporting is what stops them doing it to someone else.

My notifications aren’t coming through.

On Android it’s usually battery optimisation, so set Flirty to Unrestricted. Otherwise check the toggles in Settings → Notifications and your phone’s own notification settings. There’s a full checklist in the troubleshooting guide.

Still stuck?

Email us and a real person will get back to you. If it's a bug, telling us your phone model and roughly when it happened saves us both a round trip.
