We’ve all been there: one person wants to have a cosy chat, whilst the other’s already a million miles away after just three sentences. Neither of them is doing anything wrong; they just don’t know what the other is in the mood for at that moment. Now you can convey exactly that without having to say a word.

Four moods, one tip

In every chat you’ve joined, you’ll find a small line with four emojis just below the header:

  • ☕ Just having a chat

  • 😏 Flirty

  • 🔥 Already feeling a bit horny

  • 💦 Open to erotic chat

One tap selects your mood, a second tap deselects it. You can also see your chat partner’s mood on the same four buttons: your choice is filled in, theirs has a ring around it. If you’re both in the same mood, the button is filled in and lit up. That way, they know what to expect – and so do you.

Just for the two of you, and for each chat

Your mood only applies to this one chat. With one person you might just want to have a natter, whilst with another things can get steamy. No one else can see it – not in the search, not on your profile, not in the feed. You can change it at any time, and no message or notification is sent out. If the other person changes their mood whilst you’re chatting, you’ll see it straight away.

A little extra protection when sending pictures

If you want to send an 18+ image and the person you’re chatting to is currently set to ‘Just chatting’ or ‘Flirty’, the preview will ask you again whether the image is appropriate right now. You can still send it – the decision is yours. It’s simply to ensure that nobody receives anything they weren’t expecting at that moment.

Setting a mood is optional. If you don’t select one, your chat will remain as you’re used to it. You can find out more in the handbook under ‘Chats’.
