Date.Mom development — frequently asked questions

Date.Mom development is a free, location-based social platform where adults can meet new people, make friends and date with people near them. You create a profile, see who is around you on a map or in a list, and start a conversation — text, photos, voice messages, or a live video call in the browser.

As of October 2026, Date.Mom development has over 13,300 members in 169 countries. It is free to use, and there is nothing to install: Date.Mom development runs in a web browser, with an Android app as well.

Date.Mom is a family-minded social discovery and dating community for people who are parents, open to dating parents, or interested in meaningful connections with family-oriented singles.

Yes. Date.Mom development is free to use: creating a profile, browsing people nearby, sending and receiving messages and making video calls all cost nothing, and no card is asked for.

There is one optional paid tier, Premium, for people who want higher daily limits and a few extra features. It is a choice, not a wall — you can use Date.Mom development indefinitely without it.

Date.Mom development is for adults, 18 and over, who want to make friends and date in their own area. It is a focused community rather than a general-purpose site: date.Mom is a family-minded social discovery and dating community for people who are parents, open to dating parents, or interested in meaningful connections with family-oriented singles.

Everyone on Date.Mom development must be at least 18 years old. Child safety is treated as a zero-tolerance matter: confirmed violations are removed and reported to the relevant authorities.

Yes — Date.Mom development is a real, operating social platform, run by Intercode, a small software company based in Québec, Canada, online since 2014.

Like every open platform, Date.Mom development does attract people who try to abuse it, and it works continuously to remove them:

• Every uploaded photo is screened automatically within about a minute of being uploaded, and anything that fails is pulled and can be reviewed by a human moderator.
• An automated risk system scores every account against the patterns scam and spam accounts share, and shadowbans the ones that match — out of search, off the map, and with their messages no longer delivered.
• Any member can block or report any profile or message, and reports are reviewed.
• Members can verify their account and earn a badge, so you can tell who has proven they are a real person.

Not every profile is verified, so it is still worth taking a little extra care with someone who has not been — the same care you would take meeting anyone new.

Date.Mom development is built and operated by Intercode, a small independent software company in Québec, Canada. It is not owned by any of the large dating-app groups.

Yes, to see member profiles and send messages you need a free account on Date.Mom development. You can look through the list of cities and countries and see how many members are where without any account at all.

Signing up takes about a minute and asks for:

• Your gender and who you are interested in.
• A quick face check, done in your browser, which confirms there is a real person behind the profile.
• An e-mail address — confirmed by clicking a link, or by signing in with Google.

No phone number and no payment details are asked for.

The face check is the part that does the work. It confirms a real person is behind the profile before the account can be used at all, which is why Date.Mom development asks for it up front rather than leaving it optional.

No. Date.Mom development does not ask for a phone number, at sign-up or afterwards. There is no SMS code to wait for and no number stored against your profile.

Nothing. Creating an account on Date.Mom development is free, and no payment details are requested at any point during sign-up. The optional Premium upgrade is the only thing on Date.Mom development that costs money, and you are never required to buy it.

Yes. Date.Mom development has an Android app on Google Play, and the website works as an installable web app on both Android and iPhone — open dev.date.mom in your browser and add it to your home screen.

Everything works in a normal browser too, including video calls. There is no feature that requires installing anything.

Date.Mom development offers a live face check. Verification is optional — you can use Date.Mom development without it, except during sign-up, where the face check is part of creating an account.

The face check runs in your browser: it records a few seconds of you following on-screen prompts, then compares your face with the public photos on your profile. The comparison runs on Date.Mom development's own servers — your face is never sent to a third-party face-recognition company, and no permanent faceprint is kept. You can erase the recording yourself at any time from your settings, without deleting your account.

Full details: how verification works.

A verified badge means that person has proven there is a real human behind the profile by passing a live face check that matched the photos on their profile. It does not verify their name, age or intentions — only that the person in the photos is the person using the account.

Profiles that are not verified are not necessarily fake — plenty of people simply have not got round to it. It is just worth taking a little extra care with someone who has not verified.

Date.Mom development runs an automated risk system that scores every account against the patterns scam and spam accounts share — the kind of network it connects from, whether its location adds up, how and how fast it messages people. An account that matches is shadowbanned: it drops out of search, off the map and out of the who's-online list, and the messages it sends stop being delivered. Scoring runs continuously from the moment an account is created, not just at sign-up, because a stolen-photo or romance-scam account usually looks ordinary until it starts messaging.

Alongside it: every uploaded photo is screened automatically within about a minute of upload, and anything that fails is pulled and can be checked by a human moderator; messages that follow known scam patterns are caught and not delivered; profiles with no description, or a very short one, are left out of the searches most people use, which quietly removes a lot of throwaway accounts; and any member can report a profile or a message in one click.

No platform can promise a community entirely free of bad actors. What Date.Mom development can say is that removing them is continuous work, and that the tools to protect yourself — block, report, and the verified badge — are in front of you on every profile.

Not before, no — a photo you upload appears straight away. It is screened automatically within about a minute: nudity and prohibited-content detection, plus a check for whether there is actually a face in it. Anything that fails is pulled from public view, and moderators can review any picture at any time.

That trade is deliberate: waiting for a queue before your first photo appears would make joining feel broken, and the screening gap is a minute rather than a day. Pictures you delete are removed from the servers.

You choose the visibility of each photo you upload, and private pictures are only visible to people you show them to.

Open the profile or the conversation and use the block or report control there — both are one click, on every profile and every message. Blocking is immediate and silent: the other person is not told. Reports are reviewed by moderators, who can remove content, suspend an account or ban it outright.

If something needs attention urgently, or involves a minor, use support and see the child safety standards.

Messaging on Date.Mom development is free, with daily limits that exist to stop mass-messaging and spam rather than to sell you anything:

• A registered member can send 100 messages a day, and start 5 new conversations a day.
• A verified member can send 1,000 messages a day, and start 10 new conversations a day.
• Premium Users have unlimited messages a day.

Replying inside a conversation someone already started with you is what the message limit covers; the separate "new conversations" limit is about how many different people you can approach in a day.

Yes, and it is free. Date.Mom development has live video and voice calls built into the conversation page. Calls run directly in the browser — there is no plugin to install, no separate app, and nothing to pay.

You can also send photos, files and voice clips inside a conversation.

You decide, and the widest setting is narrower than you might expect: Date.Mom development will only ring you for verified members and people you have added to your favorites, which is the default. You can narrow it further to favorites only.

There is deliberately no "anyone" option for calls — letting a complete stranger make your phone ring is a bigger privilege than letting them send you a message, so it is not offered. (Message notifications do have an "anyone" setting, if you want it.) You can change both at any time, and each device you use keeps its own setting.

Date.Mom development has two ways to find people. You can search and browse directly — by distance, who is online, who has a photo and more — and message anyone you like without waiting to be matched. Or you can use Yes / No / Maybe, where you answer one profile at a time and Date.Mom development tells you when the interest is mutual.

Unlike most apps, you are not limited to people who swiped you back: the whole membership is browsable and messageable.

Premium is Date.Mom development's optional paid membership. Unlock more conversations, visibility, and insights. It adds:

• Unlimited new conversations
• See who added you to favorites
• Yes / No / Maybe insights about your profile
• Increased map access
• Higher visibility in search

Everything else on Date.Mom development — browsing, messaging, video calls — stays free whether you buy it or not.

It costs between $0.99 and $7.99 USD a month, depending on the country you are in — Date.Mom development charges less in lower-income countries rather than one global price.

It is a monthly subscription you can cancel at any time, paid through Stripe. See Premium for the exact price in your country.

Yes, at any time. Premium is a monthly subscription with no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Cancelling stops the next payment; your membership keeps running until the end of the period you already paid for, and your account then simply goes back to the free tier — nothing is deleted.

No. Date.Mom development uses no tracking cookies at all — no advertising cookies, no cross-site trackers, no Google Analytics, no social-media pixels. That is why there is no cookie-consent banner: there is nothing to consent to. The only cookies are the ones that keep you logged in and remember your own settings.

No. Other members never see your location on Date.Mom development — only the approximate distance between you and them, rounded to the nearest 5 kilometres. Your address, your coordinates and your exact position are never shown to anyone.

Location can also only be updated a few times a day, which is what stops someone from moving around to triangulate where you are. You can set your location by city rather than precisely if you prefer.

No — and this is deliberately unusual. Other members cannot see your age or your birthdate on Date.Mom development at all. Your birthdate is only used to decide whether you fall inside the age range other people are looking for.

You can still search for people who are interested in someone your age.

Yes. Date.Mom development has three visibility levels, and you can switch between them at any time: public (found normally), hidden from search (kept out of search results and featured spots, but still reachable by anyone who has your profile link), and completely hidden (invisible in search and your profile page inaccessible to others).

In every mode you keep your existing conversations and can still start new ones.

From your account settings — there is a delete option, and it removes your profile, your pictures and your conversations. You do not have to contact anyone or explain yourself.

If you only want a break, hiding your profile keeps everything intact and is reversible.

Date.Mom development places you on the map as soon as you arrive, using an approximate location worked out from your connection, so people near you are visible immediately — there is nothing to set up first. You can refine it with one tap (GPS on a phone, Wi-Fi or IP on a desktop) or set your city by hand.

From there you can see who is nearby on a map or as a list, filter by who is online, who has a photo, distance and more, and save a search to re-run later.

As of October 2026, Date.Mom development has over 13,300 members across 169 countries and 2,552 cities.

Date.Mom development's largest communities are in India, United States, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda. Because members are found by distance, what matters for you is how many people are in your own area — you can check that on the browse by city page.

Yes. Date.Mom development publishes a directory of cities and a directory of countries showing how many members each one has, how many were active in the last week, and the split between men and women. No account is needed to look at it.

Through the support page, which reaches the people who actually run the site. You do not need to be logged in to write, and you do not need to leave an e-mail address — though leaving one is the only way to get a reply.
