Comments let you start a conversation before you match. Comment on a photo or answer on someone’s profile, and it’s sent with a like to their Requests in the Chat tab.
Send a comment
- On someone’s profile, tap the speech-bubble button next to a photo or answer. In some versions of the app, you tap the photo or answer itself.
- Write your comment and tap send.
Your comment is sent along with a like. Comments are private between the two of you.
Find your Requests
- Tap the “Chat” tab.
- Tap the speech-bubble icon at the top right to open “Requests”.
- Switch between “Received” and “Sent”.
Answer a request
- Open a received request to see their comment, then tap “Accept” to like them back. You’ll match, and their comment will be at the top of your new chat.
- Tap “Delete” to remove the request. They can still send you another one later.
- Tap “Block” if you don’t want to see them again. See How do I block or report someone?.
- Opening received requests is part of Smitten Premium. Without it, their photos are blurred, and tapping a request shows Premium. If you like them when they show up in your Feed, you’ll still match, and their comment will be waiting in the chat.
Good to know
- A comment uses one of your likes, the same as a regular like.
- If they’ve already liked you, your comment makes it a match right away, and it goes to the top of your new chat.
- If you’re already matched, your comment goes straight into your chat.
