Hily - Dating. Make Friends.
How do Hily's icebreaker games work to start conversations?
Instead of sending a standard message, you can send multiple-choice quizzes or silly polls to your matches. This feature often gets higher response rates—for example, one user saw a 72% response rate on a 'Which 90s movie defines your weekend?' quiz compared to regular messages.
Does Hily have a video call feature, and is it reliable?
Yes, Hily includes a built-in video call feature that is surprisingly stable, with minimal audio latency even during peak hours. One user tested it with a match in Seattle at 9 PM and reported barely noticeable delays.
Why does Hily keep sending push notifications after I turned them off in the app?
This is a known issue where the app's in-app notification toggle doesn't fully disable all alerts. To stop them completely, you'll need to go into your phone's system settings and manually disable notifications for Hily from there.
Why are profiles loading slowly on Hily, especially during certain times?
Profile loading can stutter or delay during peak evening hours or when you're in areas with weak signal, like subway tunnels. This is likely due to server load or connectivity issues, and it may cause you to miss matches while the screen spins.
How does Hily compare to Bumble or Tinder for finding matches with niche interests?
Hily's compatibility-based matching and icebreaker games make it easier to connect with people who share specific hobbies, like indie film editing or board game nights—something that rarely happens on Tinder or Bumble. However, its interface has more tabs than Bumble, which can take a few days to navigate.
