Groove skips the endless swiping and puts you face-to-face right away. You’ll end a short, timed video chat with another user. When the timer ends, you both decide if you’d like to continue. If you both tape “Like”, you instantly match and unlock a private chat 

If you and the other person both “Like” each other after the video chat, Groove instantly creates a match. You’ll unlock a private chat where you can message, schedule another video call (Aka “Groove Date”, or continue getting to know each other at your own pace. 

Once you match, you get access to a private messaging space where you can talk, plan another video session (AKA Groove Date), or keep getting to know each other at whatever pace feels right.

No. The first time you see another user’s profile is after the initial video chat. Your full profile becomes visible after a mutual Like, keeping first impressions based on personality, vibe, and chemistry–not just pictures. 

Groove uses a combination of automated systems and human moderation to protect users. Video chats are monitored for inappropriate behavior, all accounts are authenticated through phone and email verification, and safety features–like easy reporting and blocking–are built into every session. Your privacy and comfort come first.
