Lovers are excited about OkCupid’s brand new features
OkCupid was one of the first dating apps on the market, debuting in 2004. And while some things have stayed the same — like our focus on matching singles. Really it matters — a lot has changed, especially when it comes to OkCupid’s product offerings. In fact, just this year we launched dozens of new product features to help you better find what you’re looking for. Here are some of the favorites.
Cupid options
Our famous algorithm matches you with people you’re compatible with — based on your preferences, their preferences, and common questions you’ve answered. But our new Cupid’s Picks feature takes it a step further, finding you people with whom you’re not only highly compatible, but more likely to match as well. Your Cupid Picks are refreshed daily so you know you’re getting the top people for you right now with each new batch.
OkCupid now available in 9 languages
Love knows no boundaries…but being able to use OkCupid in your preferred language sure makes things easier! OkCupid was available in English, French, Turkish, and German — and now we’re proud to be available in Argentinian Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Dutch, Swedish, and Indonesian. Those in love with their devices set to any of these languages can now see questions, chats, notifications and every part of the app in their preferred language.
Principles of conversation
You have a match, congratulations! And now what? We’ve gotten a lot of feedback from daters that deciding how to break the ice with a new match can be difficult. Our brand new feature takes the guesswork out – now when you match, we give you some top-performing icebreakers as recommendations, so it’s as simple as a click. Or if you want to make it a little more personalized, when you match today, you also have the option to scroll back to your match profile. That way, you can find something you have in common – maybe they have a photo with a dog and you’re also a dog lover, or they wrote on their profile that they need travel tips for Portugal and you’re an expert – and message them about it. Whatever you choose, don’t wait to make a move. This feature is currently available on Android and is coming to iOS soon.
Chat reactions
Don’t want to share your phone number with someone you’ve never met before? We get it and we don’t think you should! That’s why we’ve just launched chat reactions, so that in-app messages are more reminiscent than ever. React with a 😍😂😉🔥😢👍 or ❤️ depending on your mood and keep your conversation on OkCupid until you feel completely comfortable.
LGBTQ+ Definitions
After hearing from LGBTQ+ users, we realized there was an opportunity to educate and inform people about the diverse identities we offer. Now, every gender and orientation option includes definitions. We worked with the Human Rights Campaign on these definitions to help people better understand what these terms mean and to better serve all of our users. Learn more here.
Selfie Verification
One of our most exciting new features coming this year is selfie verification. Safety is a top priority on OkCupid, and soon lovers using the app will be able to specifically search for dates who have verified their profile with a selfie. Our support team reviews each one so you can feel confident you’re matching the right person. It only takes a minute to upload your selfie for profile verification, and it’s worth it — 64% of OkCupid users surveyed said they’re more likely to match with a verified profile. It will be available to users in the coming weeks.
Photo Messages
Another reason to keep your conversations on OkCupid: soon we’ll have photo sharing too! So don’t just describe the view at your match, send them a photo. But keep it PG, okay? Watch out for this new feature coming in the coming weeks.
