Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I create my Balloon'd profile?

Download the app, sign up with your phone number or email, add photos, record your voice pop, and answer our personality questions. Our onboarding process takes about 5 minutes!

Getting Started

What makes Balloon'd different from other dating apps?

Balloon'd focuses on authentic connections through voice pops, video intros, and our unique matching algorithm that prioritizes personality compatibility over superficial metrics.

Profile & Photos

How many photos should I upload?

We recommend 4-6 photos that show different aspects of your life. Include at least one clear face photo, a full body shot, and photos of you doing activities you enjoy.

Profile & Photos

What is a Voice Pop and how do I create one?

A Voice Pop is a 30-second audio introduction where you can share your personality before matches see your photos. Record yourself naturally - talk about your interests, what you're looking for, or ask a question!

Matching & Discovery

How does the matching algorithm work?

Our algorithm considers your preferences, personality answers, activity patterns, and compatibility factors to suggest meaningful matches. We prioritize quality over quantity.

Matching & Discovery

Why am I not getting matches?

Try updating your photos, refining your voice pop, expanding your distance or age preferences, or completing more personality questions to improve your match potential.

Messaging

How do I start a conversation?

After matching, you can send a message or respond to their voice pop. Try referencing something specific from their profile to start meaningful conversations.

Messaging

Can I send voice messages?

Yes! Voice messages are a great way to add personality to your conversations. Tap the microphone icon in the chat to record and send voice messages.

Safety & Privacy

How do you verify profiles?

We use photo verification, phone number verification, and AI detection to identify fake profiles. Users can also report suspicious accounts for review.

Safety & Privacy

How do I report or block someone?

Tap the three dots in the top right of their profile or chat, then select "Report" or "Block." We take all reports seriously and investigate promptly.

Account & Billing

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. Note that this permanently removes your profile, matches, and messages. This action cannot be undone.
