Frequently asked questions

Is Simply Matched actually a free dating site?

Yes. Creating a profile, swiping, matching, and messaging are all completely free across every emirate in the UAE. There is no subscription, no premium tier, and no feature you have to pay to unlock.

Which cities and emirates does Simply Matched cover?

All seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. Your emirate and area are used to prioritise singles near you, so you'll see people in Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, Al Reem Island, Al Nahda and other neighbourhoods first.

Do I have to pay to see who liked me?

No. Seeing everyone who liked your profile is free on Simply Matched. On most dating apps that's the single most expensive paid feature — here it's included for everyone.

How does Simply Matched keep online dating safe?

Photo verification helps you identify real singles, one-tap block and report tools are on every profile and chat, privacy controls let you hide your profile from coworkers, and optional date check-ins share your meetup details with someone you trust.

Can I use Simply Matched on my phone?

Yes. Simply Matched works in any mobile browser on Android and iPhone and can be added to your home screen like an app — no download or app store account needed to start meeting singles.

Is Simply Matched good for expats in the UAE?

It's built for the UAE's mix of residents and newcomers. Whether you've lived in Dubai for years or moved to Abu Dhabi last month, you can filter by area, age, and what you're looking for to meet people near you.

Is my exact location shown to other people?

Never. Other members only see an approximate distance and the area you chose — your precise location is never shared with anyone.

How do I get more matches?

Add at least three clear photos, get verified, write a short bio that says what you're actually looking for, and keep your area up to date. Verified profiles with a filled-in bio get noticeably more likes.
