How to start a conversation on a dating app

On Voice XO the first contact is a voice approach: you listen to a member's sixty-second introduction, then record a short voice message of your own and spend one voice-approach credit to send it. The recipient hears your voice before deciding whether to open a conversation, so the opener is already more personal than a typed line.

How is this different from other dating apps?

Voice XO leads with a voice introduction instead of a photo grid, offers optional ID verification, and limits how many conversations can be opened per day so outreach cannot be mass-produced.

Is Voice XO free to use?

Yes. Creating a profile, recording a voice introduction and browsing members is free, and the free plan includes three voice-approach credits every twenty-four hours. Premium removes the daily limit.

Do I have to verify my ID?

You can use Voice XO before verifying. ID verification adds a visible verified label to your profile, sets your age from the document, and is required before you can upgrade or buy credits.

Do I need to upload a photo?

Yes. Your name and one profile photo are needed to appear in the feed and search. Each profile has a single photo; if you are ID-verified and change it, our team checks the new photo against your ID document again. Your media is stored privately and served through signed links rather than public URLs.

Voice Messaging for Dating

A voice message carries information that text cannot: pace, warmth, humour, hesitation. It is also much harder to mass-produce, which is why Voice XO puts it first rather than treating it as an extra.

Do voice messages cost anything once a conversation is open?

No. Once a conversation exists, voice messages inside it are unlimited and cost no credits. They are encrypted in transit and at rest, and stay playable for as long as the conversation does.

Voice messages inside a conversation are unlimited and cost no credits

Muting a conversation suppresses both its push notifications and its in-app alerts
Voice introductions are up to sixty seconds and are what members browse
Reports are reviewed by human moderators
One credit per voice approach, one per like; three are included free every 24 hours, and messaging is always free
ID verification is available to every member and required before upgrading
Data travels over encrypted connections and profile media is served through signed links

How it works

Every conversation on Voice XO can move between voice and text freely. Voice messages are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Messages you receive stay playable for as long as the conversation exists, so you can go back to the introduction that made you reply.

Where this fits in Voice XO

Voice XO is a voice-first dating app: members record a voice introduction of up to sixty seconds, and that recording is what others browse. Sending a voice approach costs one discovery credit and a like costs one, the free plan includes three every twenty-four hours, and replies inside an existing conversation are free.

ID verification is available to every member and required before upgrading or buying credits. Profile media is private and served through signed links, and data travels over encrypted connections.
