Dating App · Settings. A comprehensive redesign of privacy and preference management for a high-intent dating application.
A concept project exploring how a dating app’s settings can become a quiet, daily trust-building surface — not a place users dread visiting. Built around one principle: every toggle should answer a question the user is already asking in their head.
Two settings — who can see me, and what am I here for — decision moments.
‘Do you have children?’ and ‘Do you want children?’ surfaced as honest, low-pressure questions — with a warm ‘Family values matter here’ reassurance card below.
The user manages safety features and privacy options to feel secure while using the platform.
The user updates notification preferences and account details to stay in control of their experience.
The same settings on iOS — same structure, same micro-copy, same privacy badge — so users carry one mental model between devices.
How I worked through it.
Listed questions a user asks
‘Who can see me?’ ‘What am I here for?’ ‘Will my contacts find me?’ ‘What if I want out?’ Mapped each question to a setting before designing a single toggle.
Designed the privacy primitives
Toggles for screenshot blocking, contact-hiding and activity sharing. Explicit Manage / Request actions for blocked users and data export.
Made destructive actions safe-by-default
Sign out and Delete live in a dedicated Account card, with red-tinted secondary styling. They’re findable, but never accidental.
The outcome.
A responsive settings system where every control feels deliberate — same structure on web and iOS, same micro-copy, same privacy semantics. Destructive actions live where the user expects them, never where they don’t.
