## Ways to Reach Us

### From inside the app (fastest)

Open Bloom and go to **Settings**. You'll find two options:

- **Send Feedback** - for suggestions, general comments, or anything you want us to hear
- **Report a Bug** - for something that isn't working the way it should

Both options send your message straight to our team along with helpful diagnostic info, so we don't need to ask follow-up questions to start investigating.

### By email

**[support@bloom.date](mailto:support@bloom.date)**

When you email us, please include:

- A short description of what you need help with
- Your account email (if different from the one you're writing from)
- The device and OS version you're using (e.g., "iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18.2" or "Pixel 7, Android 14")
- A screenshot if the issue is visual

This helps us help you faster.

## Common Questions

### I forgot my password

On the login screen, tap "Forgot password?" and enter your email. You'll get a reset link within a minute or two. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive.

### I want to delete my account

Open Bloom, go to Settings, tap "Account", then "Delete Account". Deletion is permanent and removes your profile, matches, messages, and personal data.

### Someone is behaving inappropriately

Every profile and chat has a report option. Tap the three-dot menu, choose "Report", and select a reason. Our team reviews every report. If you feel unsafe, you can also block the user from the same menu, which immediately ends contact.

For urgent safety concerns involving a threat of violence, contact local law enforcement first.

### My matches or messages aren't loading

Try force-closing the app and reopening it. If that doesn't work, check your internet connection. If the issue persists, email us and we'll investigate.

### How do I change my profile photos?

Open Bloom, tap your profile icon, and choose "Edit Profile". You can add, remove, or reorder photos from there.

### I paid for a subscription but features aren't unlocked

Subscriptions can take a minute to activate after purchase. If features still aren't showing after 5 minutes, try force-closing the app and reopening. If the issue persists, email us with your receipt (from the App Store or Google Play, depending on your device).

### How do I pause my account?

Settings → Account → Pause Account. While paused, you won't appear in anyone's Browse feed and you won't receive new matches. You can unpause any time.
