Logging in via Magic Link

Your matchmaker may send you a Magic Link — a special URL that logs you in automatically. Tap the link in WhatsApp or SMS and you'll be inside the app immediately, no password needed.

Magic links are single-use and expire. If a link doesn't work, ask your matchmaker to send a new one.

Tips for Seekers

  • Complete your profile fully — more details mean better compatibility matches
  • Enable notifications so you don't miss album assignments or suggestions from your matchmaker
  • Your QR code (Profile → QR Code) is a quick way to let your matchmaker look up your profile in person
