Begin Again is an invite only community. You can register using an invite from another existing user on the platform. In case you don’t have an invite, you can still register but you will be put under a waitlist. Post screening for genuineness, you will be allowed to use Begin Again.

Begin Again has stringent screening mechanisms in place to make sure fake profiles don’t get through. We constantly review profiles and allow only genuine profiles. If these things are followed but you are still unable to get on the app, you should check your network connection.

Begin Again picks your current location when you login to the app for the first time. However, in case you are at a new location and want to look up people around you there, you can always update it from the Settings menu. To change your current location, we first ask you to switch on your location settings. If you agree to that, your current location will be updated automatically. However, if you wish to update it manually, you can say No to location settings and update your location by typing the city name or selecting one from list provided.

When you sign up on Begin Again, we request a minimum of 2 pictures. However, you can edit and replace those pictures by clicking on the edit profile option and add new pictures of yours from your phone gallery or by taking a selfie.

You can edit your profile from the Me tab. Just go to your profile from there and tap the edit icon. A cool tip: The more your profile is complete, the higher are your chances of getting a match. Get that profile completion meter up to 100%.

You can only chat with people you have successfully connected with. Once you do, you can send them unlimited messages on chat. The more interesting your messages, the higher the chances of you converting it into a conversation. So go ahead and start off on the right note. Tell them more about yourself.

Once you get a connection, only then you can chat and send unlimited free messages to your match. For that, you need to tap on conversations icon and select the user you want to chat with.

To connect a profile, tap on the “connect” button at the bottom of the profile card. If you connect someone and they connect you back, it’s a successful connection! You can then begin chatting with each other. You can see all your connections in the Conversations section, which you can reach by tapping on the icon on the bottom right of your home screen.

Begin Again’s matching logic takes into account many factors while showing you profiles; like – mutual interests, commonalities, and age and location preferences. You can change your preferences by tapping on the filter button on the top right in the discover section.
