How it works

Four steps to your people.

Dove is built around one idea: you should meet someone because of what you share, not because of how well you perform online.

01

Make a profile that is really you

Sign up with your date of birth, add your photos, and run the live camera check.

  • Dove is 18 and over, and your birth date is checked at sign up.
  • Verification is a short live camera scan with three quick poses, so we know the photos belong to you.
  • Verified profiles carry a badge that other members can see.
02

Set your vibe

Pick the tags that actually describe you, then answer a few prompts.

  • Tags cover music, games, art, film, sport, and the rest of what you are into.
  • Prompts give people something specific to open with instead of hi.
  • You can change tags and prompts any time as your interests shift.
03

Discover people on your terms

Discovery follows your settings, not an algorithm chasing engagement.

  • Choose your age range, maximum distance in miles, and who you want to see.
  • Turn off Show me on Dove to pause being shown to others without losing your profile.
  • Hide distance if you would rather not show how far away you are.
04

Talk like a person

When you both say yes, the conversation opens with something to say.

  • Icebreakers are drawn from what you have in common.
  • You can limit messages to verified members only.
  • Block or report from any profile or chat, in one tap.

This is what discovery looks like.

One person at a time, with their tags, their prompts, and their city. Say yes with the dove, pass with the crow. If you both say yes, the chat opens.

What Dove will never do.

No follower counts

Nothing on Dove tells anyone how popular you are, because that number was never the point.

No public like totals

Interest stays between the two of you. There is no scoreboard to climb.

No pay to be seen

Visibility is not something you can buy your way into ahead of other people.
