FAQs & Help
-
Wait - what? Isn’t the whole point of dating apps about being attracted to someone?Yep, but so many people have told us they are sick of only being judged on how they look. You can’t stop your brain making those instant judgments - it’s biology. But chemistry’s important too! And that’s about much more than looks. With Jigsaw, you’re more likely to make a genuine connection as you get to know the whole person, not just a profile photo.
-
How do I block/unblock a user?We hope you never have to block someone - ugh - but if you need to, please report them to us asap. Safety is paramount so we have a few ways to report someone: In the top right hand corner of a profile, there are three dots - click here and tap Report. You can report mid-chat by clicking the three dots on the right side of the chat screen. Sliding a Chat to the left on the Match screen also shows the options to Report or Block. If you would like to discuss with us, please email support@jigsaw.co. If you’ve reported a user by accident, unfortunately you cannot unblock them yourself. Please send their name to our team who will investigate and sort it out.

The puzzle pieces won’t revealOne piece is already removed on every profile you see, and another will disappear when you send a like.
