What is a Direct Connect, and how do I send one?

A Direct Connect lets you say something before you match. It sends your message straight to someone without waiting for them to like you back.

To send one: tap the message bubble on someone's FIND card, or on their profile when you open it from an event. Write a message of up to 300 characters, then tap SEND DIRECT CONNECT.

• They'll get a notification, and your message appears under Requests on their MATCHES tab.
• You can send each person one Direct Connect. You can't send them another message until they reply, and if they don't reply, that's their answer.
• If they reply, it becomes a normal conversation.

Got a Direct Connect? Go to MATCHES → Requests. Reply to start chatting, or tap ✕ to delete it. Deleting it doesn't let them send you another one.

Keep it kind. Sending inappropriate, explicit, or harassing messages can get you removed from Found.
