Privacy & Security

  • To remove a match, tap on the profile of the user. Then press on the 3 buttons on the top right and select unmatch. Please report the user if they made you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

  • We prioritize your comfort and safety on this app. We urge that if someone makes you feel unsafe or makes you uncomfortable, please report them.

    Tap on their profile, or open the messages you have with this person. Then, press on the three dots in the upper-right-hand corner, and you’ll see the option to Unmatch, Block or Report & Block.

    You’ll be asked to select a reason for the report. This way we can perform an efficient investigation into the profile. You’ll also be asked to provide a screenshot. We believe you, it just helps our review process.

    Once completed, the person will be blocked and won’t be able to contact you or see your profile. Our team will review the profile and act accordingly. Safety is essential to Tayst’s functionality and environment, so we will thoroughly review any reports that are made.

  • Tayst uses your location to connect you with others nearby. You can manage your location settings on app.

    When you select “While using the app,” we’ll only update your location while the app is open.

    2. When you select “Always,” we’ll update your location while the app is open as well as running in the background.

    - However, if you upgrade to the Tayst+ Subscription, you can browse incognito.

  • One of Tayst’s promises to its users is that we verify everyone on the app. We ask that you share this information with us because it assists us with the verification process.

    We do encourage users to include this information on their profile. However, if you don’t want to display this on your profile, you don’t have to. You can manage this information in your profile settings.

  • When you connect your contact list, this allows you to connect with friends already on the app, or send an invite to someone not yet on the app.

    To connect with a friend you already know, you will have the option to send a request. In order to connect, both members will have to accept the connection request. You can view connection requests in your app notifications.

On App

  • Not yet, but we do place a higher priority on members who live near your set location. We strive to show you your most compatible members, no matter where they live.

  • We strive to foster a culture in which each ‘like’ encourages an intentional approach to connection rather than mindless swiping.
