What is RSVP?

RSVP is a dating website and app. You can look at other people’s dating profiles, show interest in people and send messages. RSVP can be used for free or through a paid subscription.

Matches on RSVP work differently to some other dating sites. A match does not mean that two people have liked each other. Instead, ‘matches’ are profiles that RSVP suggests to you. These suggestions are based on things like your interests and the type of person you say you are looking for.

You can also find people through the ‘discover’ feature. This feature shows you the profiles of people nearby, people with common interests or people who fit your search choices. You can search for people using things like age, location, religion, political views, whether they have children, and more. RSVP will then show you people who match these choices.

If you are interested in someone’s profile, you can send them a ‘wink’. If someone sends a wink back, that means both people have shown interest. A wink is not the same as sending a message.

To send a message, you need to use a ‘stamp’, which costs money. You can buy stamps or you can pay for a subscription that includes stamps. Replying to a message is free.

A subscription also allows you to have a higher level of control over your privacy and who can see your profile.

About The eSafety Guide

The eSafety Guide helps you find out how to protect your personal information and report harmful content on common social media, games, apps and sites. Entries are for information only and are not reviews, endorsements or assessments against any legislative definition by eSafety. Before choosing to use any online service or platform it’s best to:

  • do your own research to understand the risks and benefits
  • check the age rating and requirements
  • consider privacy
  • check the permissions and other settings
  • check the in-app reporting options.

If you are a parent or carer who is deciding whether a child should be allowed to use an online service or platform, you can also:

  • consider your child's readiness for the types of content and experiences they might encounter
  • help them understand what to do if they need help
  • provide ongoing support and monitoring, for example through regular check-ins with your child
  • agree to some rules about use of each service or platform.

To find out more, you can read the App checklist for parents, as well as information about parental controls in social media, games and apps and mental wellbeing resources for families.
