Sound Bites

Most frequent questions and answers

A sound bite is a quick voice recording that goes on your profile. Consider it an intro! We give you prompts to choose from, you choose your favorite, record your answer, and we put it on your profile. It’s a great way for people to get to know a little bit about you right from the get-go.

When you’re setting up your profile, you will automatically be prompted to record a sound bite. If you choose not to, you can always tap on your profile, head to “Profile Questions”, and you’ll find an edit button next to “Sound bite and text bio”. By tapping on it, you can edit your existing sound bite or add one.

Sound bites can be listened to by anyone who comes across your profile. Voicemails are part of a private conversation — only between you and another friend.

Well, you can, but only for a short time. However, once you’ve seen a few profiles and understood how the app works, you’ll have to record your sound bite to keep using it. Trust us, a profile with a sound bite is a whole lot more likely to catch someone’s eye (or ear!).

Your sound bite is supposed to give people a glimpse into your personality. We’ve put together a number of prompts for you to choose from. Start by mentioning your name and where you’re from, and then answer the prompt.

At the moment, we offer a photo-verification option to ensure that all SwoonMe members are uploading their own photos. We’re working on various ways to ensure authentic profiles, and will be implementing them very soon!

In order to verify their profile, SwoonMe members are asked to take a selfie while striking a specific pose. Our team will then compare this photo with the photo used to create their avatar. If the two photos match, that profile will then have a badge to indicate that the profile photo has been verified.

You will be prompted to verify your photo when you first sign up and create your avatar. Otherwise, there’s an option on your profile to verify your photo. Tap on “Verify”. Next, take a picture of yourself striking the same pose as the sample photo, and hit submit. Then, someone from our team will match this selfie with the picture on your profile. You’ll be notified if the verification was successful or not.
