Keep Bind quiet on your phone
If family, flatmates or the person next to you on the metro can see your screen, a dating app icon is a risk. Bind runs from your home screen, and you can choose what that icon looks like.
Two ways to install
- With the Bind icon, if nobody looks at your phone.
- With a discreet icon: Notes, Messages, Calculator, Weather or Settings. Bind works the same inside.
Either way you open Bind from your home screen, so it does not sit in your browser history or open tabs.
Notifications
Notification titles never say Bind. Message notifications can show the first line of the message, so turn off previews in your phone settings if other people see your lock screen.
On iPhone, notifications only work after you add Bind to your home screen (iOS 16.4 or later), and only once you say yes to them. Bind never turns them on for you.
Habits that help
- Do your verification check when you are alone.
- Keep your photos and bio to what you are comfortable with being seen.
- Lock your phone with a code only you know.
