- The messages you send go to the top of everyone’s mailbox
- Get noticed by more attractive matches
Incognito allows you to still have an active profile on OkCupid while being hidden to people you have not liked or talked to. You will have the option to hide someone you had messaged before just by clicking “hide” on their profile or “block” on their message. If you would like to hide from someone who you had liked, just block their profile.
The Incognito mode removes you from Match Search, DoubleTake, and to anyone who you haven’t messaged or liked. If anyone who you haven’t had an interaction with tries to visit your profile, they will be notified that your profile does not exist. Apart from these features, here are some more:
- Add free experience
- Your profile is invisible to everyone on the site unless you interact with them by liking or messaging
- Revoke access to an account at any time by blocking them
- Turn incognito on or off at any time
How to Create an Account in OkCupid
Now that you know what OkCupid is and its features and benefits, it’s time for you to create your account. If you don’t know how to do it, don’t worry about it, we will help you create one and guide you to build an attractive profile on OkCupid. Just follow the steps below.
Set up an account
OkCupid can be used on both mobile and desktop, so you have the option to choose how you would want to use it. You can either download the app on your smartphone or go to okcupid to start your journey. You have the option to sign up using your Facebook account or using your email address, just like any online dating app. All you have to do is pick the social media account you would like to link.
Once done signing up, OkCupid will ask for some basic information including gender (there are a lot of options available), your gender of interest, your birthday, zip code, ideal relationship length, and a few more info about you. After this, you can now customize your profile to start getting noticed.
Upload a Photo and Write Your Bio
Like most dating apps, OkCupid has 6 photo slots and a short bio section. This is the first thing that most people see so be sure to make an impact and choose only the best photos and write a catchy bio.
A little advice for your photos, make sure that you upload six photos and most, if not all, should prominently feature your smile. Your first photo should be a headshot in an interesting location like a forest, arcade, or well-lit cafe. Also, don’t forget to include a few whole body snaps. Please keep the sunglasses and group photos to a minimum.
For the bio, just keep it short and sweet. Around four to five sentences should do the trick. You can use humor for your bio if you want to be catchy. If not, just write a bit about yourself, your hobbies, your passion, and anything else you think people might want to. Keep it honest and add a personal touch to it. After these initial setup, you have an option to answer additional questions to spice up your profile.
Answer the Questions
This is the last step in creating your OkCupid account and is answering basic questions. Each profile on this app displays an estimated compatibility rate and these percentages are based on your answers to these questions so be thorough as possible.
