Celibate is free to download and join. Creating a profile, receiving daily matches, and chatting with your connections are also free. Optional Premium features are available for members who want additional functionality.

Open your Profile tab and select “Edit Profile.” From there, you can update the available profile information and photos. Be sure to save your changes before leaving the page.

You can adjust your age range and geographic distance in your dating filters. A Premium subscription unlocks additional preferences, including height, lifestyle habits, whether someone has children, and more.

Open your dating filters to adjust your location preferences. Select “Show All” for the broadest available results.

Choosing a specific location beyond the standard distance options is a Premium feature.

Your profile location and your dating-distance preference are two separate settings:

• Change the location shown on your profile: Premium members can open the Profile tab, go to Settings, select “Location,” and choose a new location.
• Find profiles farther away: Open your Dating Filters and adjust your distance preference. Select “Show All” to see the broadest available results, regardless of distance.

Changing your profile location is a Premium feature. You do not need to change your profile location simply to expand the distance of profiles shown in your feed.

First, try selecting “Show All” in the location filter and expanding your age range or distance preferences.

You can also open Account Settings and select “Reset Profile Feed” to see profiles you previously skipped or disliked.

Open Account Settings and select “Reset Profile Feed.” This allows previously skipped and disliked profiles to appear again.

Profiles you disliked may appear again automatically after you have viewed all other profiles that match your preferences.

Manually viewing profiles you previously disliked or skipped requires a Premium subscription. Premium members can access profile history from the Dating History tab or by tapping the clock icon at the top left of the Liked tab.

Tap the bookmark icon while viewing a profile to save it for later. Tap the bookmark icon again to remove it.

You can open your Bookmarks page from the bookmark icon near the top of the home screen. Premium members can access all of their saved profile bookmarks.

A profile is automatically removed from your bookmarks after you like, dislike, or match with that person. A profile may also disappear if the member deactivates or deletes their account.

Free members see likes one at a time while browsing new profiles and receive an in-app notification when someone likes their profile. Premium members can also see their likes by visiting the “Who Likes Me” tab.

Receiving likes depends on other members’ preferences and activity, so Celibate cannot guarantee a certain number of likes. To improve your chances, make sure your profile is complete, use clear and authentic photos, write a thoughtful bio, and consider verifying your profile.

You can also review your Dating Filters and expand your distance or age preferences to discover and connect with more members. If you believe your profile is not visible or there may be a technical issue, please contact Celibate Support so our team can investigate.

You can begin messaging someone after you have both expressed interest in each other. Once you and another member have liked each other, you will connect and can start chatting.

1. Open the conversation you want to end.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Select “End chat.”
4. Tap “End Chat” again to confirm.

Ending a chat permanently deletes the conversation for both participants and unmatches you from that person. You will no longer be able to view each other’s profiles, and this action cannot be undone.

You can edit one of your messages for up to one hour after sending it, with a maximum of two edits per message.

Tap or press and hold your message, or tap the small edit icon beside it. Update the text and tap the checkmark to save your changes. Support messages and messages outside the editing window cannot be edited.

Chat read status is available as a Premium feature. Premium members can see whether messages in their conversations have been read.

For community safety, you must verify your profile before sharing contact information such as a phone number or email address in a chat.

Open Profile Settings and select “Verify My Profile” to begin verification. If the recipient is not verified, Celibate may warn you before your contact information is sent.

Open the conversation with your match. If calling is available, tap the phone icon for a voice call or the video-camera icon for a video call at the top of the conversation.

If the call buttons are unavailable, the other member may not allow calls from this match, or calling may not currently be available for the conversation.

1. Open your conversation with that person.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Use the “Allow calls from this match” switch to enable or disable calls.

This setting applies only to that specific match.

1. Open your conversation with that member.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Select “Block & report.”
4. Choose the reason for your report and confirm.

The member will be blocked and removed from your matches.

The Celibacy/Abstinence Tracker records how long you have been celibate or abstinent and displays that duration on your profile.

You can let Celibate calculate the time automatically from a start date, or turn automatic tracking off and set the years and months manually.

Open your Profile tab, go to Settings, and select “Update Celibacy/Abstinence Tracker” under Actions.

You can also open Edit Profile and select the celibacy duration to update it.

Open the Celibacy/Abstinence Tracker and turn on “Automatically track my time.” Select the date your celibacy or abstinence journey started, then tap “Update.”

Celibate will calculate the completed years and months from that date and update the duration shown on your profile automatically.

Open the Celibacy/Abstinence Tracker and turn off “Automatically track my time.” Use the Years and Months sliders to set your duration, then tap “Update.”

Manual values do not advance automatically, so you will need to update them when your duration changes.

Open the Celibacy/Abstinence Tracker. With automatic tracking turned on, select “Started Celibacy,” choose the correct start date, and tap “Update.”

The duration on your profile will be recalculated from the new date.

Open the Celibacy/Abstinence Tracker and select “Reset Tracker.” Choose “Start again today” to begin a new streak today, or choose “Choose another date” to enter a different start date. Then tap “Update” to save the change.

Open the Celibacy/Abstinence Tracker, turn off “Automatically track my time,” set both Years and Months to 0, and tap “Update.”

When both values are 0, a celibacy duration is not shown on your profile.

The tracker cannot use a future start date or a date before your date of birth. A manually entered duration also cannot be longer than your age.

Choose a valid start date or reduce the manual years and months, then tap “Update” again.

Open Profile Settings and select “Verify My Profile.” You will be directed to Didit, our identity-verification provider, where you will upload an accepted form of identification and complete a face scan.

The first name on your Celibate profile must match the first name on your identification for verification to succeed.

Make sure the first name on your Celibate profile matches the first name on your identification. Use a clear, well-lit photo of an accepted identification document and ensure that all requested information is visible.

Return to “Verify My Profile” in Profile Settings to try again.

No. Profile verification confirms that a member’s identity information and face match the identification they submitted. It is not a criminal or personal background check.

We recommend taking appropriate precautions, conducting your own research, and meeting in a safe public place when meeting someone for the first time.

Check your inbox and spam or junk folder. If you requested more than one verification email, use the link in the most recent message because older links may have expired.

You can return to the verification screen and request a new link if needed.

Open the most recent verification email and use the link in that message. Older links may expire when you request another email.

If the latest link has also expired, return to the verification screen and request a new one. Check your spam or junk folder as well.

On the sign-in screen, select “Forgot Password?” Enter the email address connected to your Celibate account and select “Send Reset Link.”

Check your inbox and spam folder for the password-reset email. Use the link in that email to create a new password.

Premium includes additional features such as unlimited likes, access to more profiles without breaks, the ability to see everyone who liked you, profile history, chat read status, expanded location choices, advanced profile filters, and access to all profile bookmarks.
