Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Flava.

What is Flava?
Flava is a casual dating app designed for real connections without the drama. Whether you're looking for a casual date, friends with benefits, or just someone cool to grab a drink with – Flava keeps things simple, honest, and fun. Available free on iOS and Android.
Is Flava an open-minded dating app?
Yes. Flava is built for open-minded adults who want honest intent, real verified people, free chat, and privacy from the first match. You can explore casual dating, FWB, no-strings-attached meetups, or something more open-ended while keeping your profile protected with anonymous sign-up and screenshot protection.
Is Flava free?
Yes! Flava is completely free to download and use. You can swipe, match, and chat without paying a thing. Premium features like unlimited likes, instant access to incoming likes without waiting for a match, advanced filters, profile boost, and Poke (reach out before matching) make things easier – but the core experience is 100% free. Plus, with Streak Events you can unlock premium perks at no cost just by using the app.
Is Flava safe?
Your safety is our top priority. Every profile goes through photo verification and advanced automated moderation algorithms to keep fakes, bots, and bad actors out. In chats, we offer self-destructing photos that disappear after viewing and can't be screenshotted – if someone tries, we block the capture and notify you instantly. Screen recording is also detected: we hide chat content and alert you. These layers of protection make Flava one of the safest dating communities out there.
How does Flava work?
It's simple: create your profile, add your interests and what you're looking for, then start swiping. Swipe right if you're interested, left to pass. When you both swipe right – it's a match and you can start chatting instantly. No complicated algorithms, no waiting games.
What makes Flava different from other dating apps?
Flava ships 12 things free by default that most apps charge for or skip entirely – screenshot and screen-recording protection, anonymous sign-up, 90%+ verified profiles, free unlimited messaging, pre-match Poke (8× match rate), voice messages, self-destructing photos, private albums, couple profiles, Streaks, Travel Mode, and Smart Boost timing. See the full breakdown on Why Flava →
What can I find on Flava?
Whatever you're looking for. Casual dates, friends with benefits, no strings attached meetups, spontaneous evenings, or just someone fun to chat with tonight. Flava supports all relationship styles – from one-time encounters to open-minded exploration.
Who uses Flava?
Flava is for open-minded adults (18+) who are done with fake profiles and dating games. Our community includes singles looking for casual dating, people exploring new connections, and anyone who values authenticity over pretending to be someone they're not.
What is the Streak Event?
Streak Event rewards you for showing up. When you open Flava daily, the algorithm boosts your profile higher in the feed so more people see you. On days 3 and 7 of your streak, you unlock premium features for free – like unlimited likes, profile boost, and more. The more consistent you are, the more you get out of Flava.
How secure are chats on Flava?
Extremely. Flava offers self-destructing photos that vanish after your match views them – and they can't be screenshotted. If someone attempts a screenshot, the image is blocked and you get notified immediately. We also detect screen recording: chat content is automatically hidden and you receive an alert. Your private conversations stay private.
Is Flava available in my country?
Flava is available in 180+ countries worldwide. If the app isn't available in your country's App Store yet, email us and we'll review your request. We're expanding all the time.
What's included in Flava Plus?
Flava Plus unlocks the full dating experience: unlimited likes, see who liked you instantly, rewind accidentally skipped profiles, and a free Poke every day to message someone before matching (increases your match chance by 8×). You also get Precise Search – nearby search, hide inactive users, Explorer Mode to match with people anywhere in the world, and advanced dating preferences (turn-ons, looking fors, interests). Plus Privacy features: go incognito, set private photos, and get verified with top priority.
What's included in Flava Infinity?
Flava Infinity includes everything in Plus, and adds exclusive power features: Priority likes – your likes stay at the top of their list, giving you 4× more matches. 5 free Pokes every day instead of one. And a free Boost every week that gets you recommended to matches sooner with 28× more profile views. Infinity is for those who want maximum visibility and the best chance of connecting.
Do I need to pay to chat with my matches?
No. Matching and chatting on Flava is completely free. You swipe, you match, you talk – no paywall. Premium features like instantly seeing all incoming likes, unlimited swipes, and Poke (reaching out before matching) are available for those who want more, but everything you need to connect is free.

Can I use Flava anonymously?
Yes. Flava offers three registration options – you choose your privacy level.

Whichever method you choose, your phone number, real name, and social accounts are never required.
How do I delete my Flava account?
You can delete your account in the app: go to Profile → Settings → Delete Account. Your data will be permanently removed. Alternatively, you can request account deletion by contacting our support team at support@flava.app.
What are Turn-ons and Fantasies on Flava?
Turn-ons and Fantasies are profile tags that let you openly express what you're into – from kisses and massage to bondage and role play. When both people share their preferences upfront, conversations feel more natural and matches are more compatible. You can add as many tags as you want to your profile.
Is Flava a hookup app?
Flava is a casual dating app – and that means different things for different people. Some are looking for spontaneous dates, others for friends with benefits, getting to know someone over drinks, or just meeting someone fun tonight. There's no pressure to define what you're looking for in a specific way – you set your own terms and find people who are on the same page.
What is Poke on Flava?
Poke lets you reach out to someone before matching – it's like saying "hey, I'm interested" directly. Your Poke appears at the top of their feed, making you 8× more likely to match. Free users get Pokes through Streak Events, Flava Plus includes 1 daily Poke, and Flava Infinity gives you 5 daily Pokes.
Is Flava legit?
Yes. Flava is a real app on the App Store with a 4.9-star rating from 16K+ reviews. Over 90% of profiles are selfie-verified, so you match with real people – not fakes. Chats are protected with screenshot and screen-recording blocking.
How do I log in – do I need an email?
No email or phone number is required. You can register fully anonymously, use Apple ID (only anonymized data is shared) or sign in with Google (only your email is known). Your real name and social accounts are never required.
Is Flava available in Ireland?
Yes. Flava works across Ireland on iOS and Android, with people in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and beyond. Worldwide it is a community of 2M+ members with 50M+ matches.
Which dating apps do people use in Ireland?
Most people in Ireland mix a big general app with something casual-first like Flava. Rather than a name, check three things: selfie-verified profiles (over 90% on Flava), anonymous sign-up with no email or phone number, and intention tags so you can say you want something casual before the first swipe. Our guide to dating apps in Ireland goes through it all.
Where do people meet for casual dating in Dublin or Cork?
Usually on an app first, then a pub. Dublin and Cork both run on after-work culture, so a first meet is a pint or a coffee, not a dinner. Intention tags keep it honest from the start.

We're not going to keep whispering. The good stuff is in the app.
