Dating apps for couples: linked profiles, couple accounts and sign-up options

Feeld is an adult dating app for singles, couples and polyamorous groups, and Google Play spells out the couple option: Meet as a single, a couple, or link profiles with a partner to explore polyamory together. Two people who Like each other make a Connection, which opens chat, and a Ping lets you message someone before any match. Desires, interests and Reflections steer who you see, and Feeld says it will never rank profiles.

The app turns the hookup label down. Its FAQ asks whether Feeld is a hookup app and answers Calling ourselves a hookup app sounds limiting. The selectable Looking for options still include casual play and fun and short-term connections.

Feeld is free to download and use, and free accounts can connect with others, explore profiles and send messages. Majestic adds who-likes-you, Unlimited Likes, one free Ping a day, Incognito, private photos and filters by Desires and Last Seen. Feeld's free-plan wording does not mention linked profiles either way.
