We heard you, and you were right.

The automatic private album request test (the one that sent a request the moment you liked someone, without you choosing to) should never have been added to the app. Several of you described being made to look creepy or sexually aggressive without ever intending to, and that's the biggest problem with the feature.

We've turned it off. The change is rolling out today, and the feature will be fully stopped for all users by the end of the day. If you're still seeing automatic requests go out, wait a bit - it will stop soon.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in about this. The feedback works.

Just spoke with support because out of the 20-odd matches I have, only 3 of them were ones I actually liked. Not only this, but the app is automatically forcing me to instantly ask everyone for nudes/private images. After dealing with the roundabout of the AI support, I was helped by someone. I had already disabled auto message and the other automation features. the conversation is as follows:

OP:
The app is also auto-requesting people’s private photos?

Support:
Regarding your second concern, you are currently part of a test where, when a user is liked, an automatic Private Card request is sent. At the moment, there’s no option to turn off this feature.

I’d like to note that this is not an official change but part of a test we recently launched. Whether this feature remains will depend on the test results, which is why we highly value and take into account all user feedback.

I’ll be right back to update you on your initial concern.

Thank you for your patience, OP. After checking thoroughly, it looks like this is related to the Curated Batch feature.

Unfortunately, there may be times when you will not notice that you accidentally enabled this feature. If that happens, a batch of Curated Likes will be sent on your behalf.

Of course, you can absolutely prevent this from happening in the future; just be on the lookout the next time the screen pops up so these likes aren’t accidentally sent again.

 

OP:
I have made absolutely sure not to select curated batch, because I have no desire to like profiles I haven’t seen.

With respect, I can also certainly say that this test-feature is not going to be one people want. Creating a dedicated feature curated to asking for private photos without even saying hello is insulting and gross. It’s also completely unreasonable that I should be forced to play the role of such behavior and not have the option to opt out of the test.

I appreciate you looking into this but I *will* be deleting my account moving forward.

I want to say that, while I have been explicitly careful to not touch the Curated Batch notifications, I am humble enough to admit when I am wrong. It's entirely possible I selected yes without knowing to one of the prompts, but I also feel like 3:20 is a questionable ratio for it to have been only one batch. I've only used this app for about 5 hours and installed it two days ago.
EVEN IF I accidentally accepted a Curated batch, that's still 20 people I've now suddenly requested nudes from without even greeting or talking to. I feel disgusted, and looking through other reddit posts, a moderator for this subreddit did confirm elsewhere that this test-feature is only disabled (again, automatically and with no notice to anyone) for accounts marked as Ace or Aro. It shouldn't be a feature at all, and we should if nothing else be able to decline participation in the test batch. Poor design choice, poor execution.

To Taimi Staff,

I am back on the apps after a long break, and I saw that you cannot modify age without paying. I don't mean to be abrasive, but I think this is a really bad move on your end for a number of reasons. I'm in my mid-20s, and I feel uncomfortable and creeped out by men older than my parents messaging me, seeing my face, and relative location. Also, it's a foolproof way to ruin self-esteem in young people. I understand you need to monetize your app, and I also understand that it is really difficult to make a profit, but there has got to be a better way than gatekeeping the age filter. I hope you can sort something out.

Is this how the app is supposed to work? It’s irritating the hell out of me.

Obviously I turned it off for myself, but I have absolutely zero interest in getting AI auto-messages and AI auto-matches from other people. Just clogs up my already previously chaotic inbox, makes it harder to find what was a genuine match or connection, and above all an absolute pain to navigate. I'm not even against AI when it's actually useful, but it currently is the opposite for my experience on the app.

In the people tab, sometimes I'm allowed to swipe yes on someone, but other people when I swipe yes it brings me to a sign up screen. I don't understand why some people are different. Any ideas?

every time i like someone who has private cards, it automatically sends them a request for their cards. all i do is press the like button. is this user error somehow?
