Your Daily 10
Every morning, up to 10 profiles picked for how well you might get on, alongside your usual deck.
Profiles with personality
Prompts like “My jollof (or suya) opinion that will start a fight…”, plus interests and the languages you speak.
Filters that matter
Age, distance and intent for everyone. Plus and Gold add height, religion, education and languages.
Verified badge
Pass a 10-second live face check and your profile shows a verified badge, so people know it’s really you.
Chat
Conversations that feel safe
Chat opens when you both like each other. A few gentle rules keep it pleasant.
Take it slow
Phone numbers, links and photos unlock once you’ve both sent 3 messages.
Money-request warnings
If a message looks like a request for money, you’ll see a warning and a quick way to report it.
A moment to rethink
If a message might come across as hurtful, Amara asks “Are you sure?” before it’s sent.
Share My Date
Ready to meet? Text a trusted friend who you’re meeting, where and when, straight from the app.
Stand out
Ways to say “I’m interested”
A like is enough. These are for when you want to say a little more.
Roses
Send a short note with your like. Roses are seen first, and even members without Gold see who sent them.
Super Likes
Let someone know they’re a standout. Everyone gets 1 free each week; Plus and Gold get 5.
Boosts
Show your profile to more people nearby for 30 minutes. Gold includes one free Boost every week.
Rewind (Plus and Gold)
Passed on someone by mistake? Undo your last pass, within 10 minutes.
Travel mode (Plus and Gold)
Heading somewhere? Pick a city from our list of 51 (Abuja, Port Harcourt, Accra, Nairobi and more) and match with people there before you arrive. Members there see that you’re travelling to their city, and the town you live in. You pick a city, never a point on a map. Turn it off any time; it ends when your plan does.
See who likes you (Gold)
Gold shows everyone who liked you, so you can match straight away, and adds read receipts in chat.
Your data, your call
You’re in control
Privacy isn’t an extra. It’s how Amara is built.
Pause anytime
Hide from Discover without losing your matches or chats.
Private by design
Other members see your town or area and a distance in whole kilometres, never your exact location or address. Location data is removed from your photos.
Download your data
Get a copy of your profile, matches and messages whenever you ask.
Leave cleanly
Delete your account in the app. You have 30 days to change your mind; after that, it’s erased.
