Getting Started

Woo uses your Facebook profile to conveniently fill your information into Woo and to make sure your profile is not shown to your Facebook friends. Woo also uses your interests and mutual friends to create an accurate profile of yours and determine whom you are more likely to click with. So, Woo will need you to sign in through Facebook only. But don’t worry, we never post anything to your wall.

Woo has stringent screening mechanisms in place to make sure fake profiles don’t get through. We constantly review profiles and allow only genuine Facebook profiles. If these things are followed but you are still unable to get on the app, you should check your network connection.

Profiles

Woo picks your current location when you login to the app for the first time. However, in case you are at a new location and want to look up people around you there, you can always update it from the Settings menu. To change your current location, we first ask you to switch on your location settings. If you agree to that, your current location will be updated automatically. However, if you wish to update it manually, you can say No to location settings and update your location by typing the city name or selecting one from list provided.

When you sign up on Woo, we instantly fetch 4 popular pictures from your Facebook account. However, you can edit and replace those pictures by clicking on the edit profile option and add new pictures of yours from your phone gallery or by taking a selfie.

To edit your profile, go to the left menu bar and click on the edit profile option and make changes as you want – about your education details, religion, height, personality traits, likes, interests, etc.

You can also edit your profile from the Me tab or from the left menu. Just go to your profile from there and tap the edit icon. A cool tip: The more your profile is complete, the higher are your chances of getting a match. Get that profile completion meter up to 100%.

Matches

You can only chat with people you have matched with. Once you do, you can send them unlimited messages on chat. The more interesting your messages, the higher the chances of you converting it into a conversation. So go ahead and start off on the right note. Tell them more about yourself.

Once you get a match, only then you can chat and send unlimited free messages to your match. For that, you need to tap on matchbox icon and select the user you want to chat with.

To like a profile, tap on the “tick” button at the bottom of the profile card. To increase your chances of getting a like back from this profile, you can also send a Crush. Crush allows you to send a customized message to users you really like. You can also like a user by giving answers to the questions they have asked. If you like someone and they like you back, it’s a match! You can then begin chatting with each other. You can see all your matches in the Matchbox section, which you can reach by tapping on the icon on the top right of your home screen.

Woo’s matching logic takes into account many factors while showing you profiles; like – mutual interests, commonalities, and age and location preferences. You can change your preferences by going into settings section.

Search

Here’s a great way to search for profiles based on your interests. If you come across a #Tag in a profile that catches your fancy, tap on it and we will show you all profiles which have that tag and suit your discovery preferences. Go ahead, give it a shot.

Questions And Answers

Questions asked by you are part of your profile. Anyone who visits your profiles and checks them out can choose to answer. Pro tip: Use Boost to show your profile to more people and get more answers to what you’ve asked!

To see questions a user has asked, check out the detailed profile of that user by scrolling down through it. If the user has asked any question, you can tap on the answer button to answer the question. If the user has not asked any question, you can invite the user to answer your question as well.
