Meet and Date People Online

Social media has provided people with a convenient way to keep in touch with their friends and loved ones wherever they may be. Not only that, but these social applications have also allowed them to meet and gain new friends. And through this platform, dating programs were introduced. Among the dating platforms that continuously gain popularity among singles is InMessage. This app lets you connect not only with people near you or share your interests, but also with people you have met before on Instagram and Facebook. With registered users spanning more than 30 million, this app promise to give you a fun way to meet and date new people.  

Set It Up

There are two ways to set up your InMessage account. The first one is accessing the app through Facebook and Instagram. The app is created around these social platforms. So if you already have an account—which, of course, you would have—you can use it to sign up for this app. By using this method, you can easily connect and chat with friends or any Instagram and Facebook users privately.

The second option is to sign up using your email address. Users need to only provide a working email address and a password to create their account. The best thing is, you don’t need to verify the account you set up so you can get to creating your profile immediately.

Setting up a profile involves answering a few questions and uploading a photo of you. Once you have your profile set up, you can explore the app to see other users who might catch your fancy. A word of caution, however: InMessage does not allow you to change your gender. Once you have chosen, you can never edit them.

Chat and Match

InMessage offers various ways to get connected. In addition to allowing you to privately chat with people on Instagram and Facebook, the app also allows you to connect with anyone nearby, provided that they have an account. By going to the Nearby page, you can see the most popular users nearby and view their profile. There is also the Popular page, where you can see the users who have been viewed by a lot of InMessage users. Just like the popular dating app, Tinder, you can swipe through profiles to find your match. Once you’ve found the user you like, you can tap the heart button to set them as your favorite. You can also tap the chat icon to start sending them messages.

InMessage also lets you see who’s been online recently and start conversing with them. You can even check out your visitor list and match list to see who might be interested in you. If you wish to widen your horizon, you can change your location to meet people around the world.

Chat with Care

InMessage may be offering users with an easy way to meet and even date people. However, as with any other social platform, it is very easy to create a phony account. The app can be a breeding ground for catfishers and other scammers who are only out to get money from you. It doesn’t help that the app has a very easy signup process without a clear verification method. Moreover, it does not allow users to control its search function and its filtering feature is too basic. With these issues in mind, users will need to exercise utmost caution.

Promising with a Lot of Catch

All in all, InMessage is your usual dating app that comes with a lot of drawbacks. For one, your safety from catfishing is not guaranteed. Also, you need to upgrade to the premium version to use the advanced filtering feature, as well as to see who viewed your profile. And of course, since this is a free app, you cannot run away from those pesky ads that keep interrupting your conversation.
