When it comes to knowing how Zoe works, the last thing you want is to find your perfect match only to realize you can’t chat or send a message to your match.
So you’ve downloaded the Zoe app, but before you invest in crafting the perfect Zoe bio you want to know if you can chat without paying. Just swipe right to “like” them and left to “pass”. Once you “like” each other, it’s a match and you can start chatting right away.
You’re wondering: can I send a message on Zoe without paying? The answer is yes – messaging someone on Zoe is completely free, so long as you’ve already matched with that user. With free Zoe, if you haven’t matched with someone, you can’t message, but if you’ve matched (i.e. you’ve both swiped right on each other) then you can start the conversation free of charge. Zoe’s paid versions won’t give you any more access to messaging with a match.
But that’s not quite all there is to it. premium members can message without matching, meaning that if you do choose to pay for Zoe’s ultimate tier, you have a few more messaging options. For a free user, you’ll have to get matching to get messaging.
Let’s take explain more about how to chat on Zoe.
How to Chat with Someone On Zoe
nobody on Zoe is getting a date through their bio alone. To start hooking up on Zoe, you’re going to need to bust out your best lines.
So you’re wondering, how do I message someone on Zoe? First, you have to match with them – unless you’re a premium member who can message without matching. For free users, once you’ve matched, hit the speech bubble icon to see your matches, and select the person you want to chat with. This opens the messaging function, so type out your best line and hit Send.
Here’s how to chat on Zoe:
1. First, you have to match, so like someone and hope they like you back!
2. Once you’ve matched, navigate through the speech bubble icon in the top right corner of your screen to see your matches.
3. Click on the match you want to message.
4. Type in your message and press Send!
That’s the bare bones of free chat on Zoe – but it’s going to be down to you to keep the conversation going! My advice? Check your spelling, ask yes/no questions, and craft every message carefully to work towards the main goal – a date.
So who can send messages on Zoe?
Anyone can message anyone else on Zoe, so long as they’ve matched by swiping right on each other. premium members can even message without matching.
Is Zoe Likes Free?
On Zoe, if there’s a mutual match you’ll be notified and the chat can get started. But you only get a match if you like each other. If you want to see who likes you before you get trigger-happy with your swipes, do you have to cough up?
So do you have to pay for Zoe to see who likes you? With free Zoe, you’ll find out who likes you when you like them back – that’s a match. But to see who likes you before you start swiping? Yep, you have you pay for that. Here’s where Zoe’s paid tiers come in: you can only see who likes you if you pay for Zoe’s subscription. With free Zoe, you only find out if someone likes you if you like them back – and you can always message them for free.
Zoe has never admitted how much they limit your likes. so it might make sense to stop yourself from going swipe crazy. That’s one reason to upgrade to a premium membership.
To clarify, it’s always free to message someone you’ve matched with. And you can match for free by swiping away. But if you see a little blurred profile picture of someone who has liked you, you’ll have to pay to see that person.
Don’t panic though – keep on swiping and eventually they’ll come up in your swipe deck. If you like them back, you’ll match anyway.
Conclusion
Dating can be expensive. There are many other important things to spend money on. So I get why you might not want to pay for a dating app in the first place.
Fortunately, free Zoe offers a functional platform for you to like, match, message, and meet up. Of course, you can pay for some added bonuses but if money’s as tight as those first-date jeans, then you’ll be fine with the free version.
