I've been on Iris for eight months and had a better experience getting matched on here compared to other apps. Deleted all the others and kept just Iris. Since it is still a new app, I had to be patient as more people have signed up. Met a few good friends so far and the recent match... WOW! Most successful date I have had in years!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know because of your app I have a valentines date tonight! Thank you so much, I really like the way your app is built. And the interface is very user friendly and unique.

★★★★★

I'm writing this message more to vent and really advise overall. I've used Tinder, Bumble, and Iris. For probably three years now. Out of all of the companies who operate a dating app, Iris's business model and mission statement is more holistic and comforting. So I felt safer here.

★★★★★
Clyde

Just seeing the things you guys do for your customers, i have to say im personally impressed. Something like this, something rare that makes people feel as though others ARE trying to create simpler and more efficient methods of doing things such as dating, are truly out there, blows my mind personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iris uses advanced AI to analyze your preferences and behavior. Instead of relying on basic filters, our system learns what you find attractive by observing your interactions with profiles. This creates more meaningful matches based on genuine chemistry.

Iris offers both free and premium features. The free version includes basic matching and messaging capabilities. Our premium subscription unlocks additional features like advanced filters, unlimited likes, and priority matching.

Your privacy is our top priority. We use selfie verification to ensure authentic profiles, implement strong data encryption, and never share your personal information with third parties. You have full control over your profile visibility and can delete your data at any time.

Unlike traditional dating apps that rely on basic filters and endless swiping, Iris focuses on genuine attraction and chemistry. Our AI learns your preferences through behavior, not just stated interests, leading to more meaningful matches and better conversations.

Training Iris is the first step to personalized dating recommendations. Our AI focuses on facial features while being blind to skin color, race, hairstyle, and clothes. When you create an account, you'll train Iris by rating stock photos to help it understand your preferences.

The key to optimal training is balance: while enough 'High' ratings are essential, being overly generous can dilute the specificity of your type. Being too selective can prolong the process. Once trained, Iris continuously learns from your interactions to improve recommendations.
