Reading Messages
In order to read and respond to messages, you need to have an active, paid subscription to Match. In the meantime, we'll send you notifications when you receive new messages so that you'll know how much attention your profile is generating.
Once you have a paid subscription, simply click on the Matches or Likes tabs in the top navigation bar to view and respond to your messages.
Responding To Messages
A blue speech bubble will appear throughout the site, for example in your search results list. Whenever you see that icon, you can click on it to send a Message to that member.
When you’re using the desktop Match site, you’ll sometimes be prompted to send Messages to members on your Likes page.
From the Likes tab:
You can respond to a message through your Likes page by clicking on the member’s profile page, then click the grey text bubble. A text box will appear at the bottom to respond to the other member.
From the Matches tab:
To respond to message from the Matches tab, you can respond by typing in the space at the bottom of the thread.
If you're on the app, click your Matches tab, then choose the profile of the member that you wish to message.
There is no way to "unsend," recall, or retract a Message once it is sent.
