Why do I have to create an icebreaker?

Icebreakers help spark fun, interesting conversations. Furthermore, icebreakers help us create and maintain a culture that values and fosters conversation. Without icebreakers, Sweet Pea wouldn't be as fun and interesting of a place.

I can't think of a good icebreaker. Can you help?

Being creative and coming up with unique and original icebreakers is something that adds a ton of value to our community, but if you really can't think of a good icebreaker on your own, searching for 'good icebreakers' on Google should help.

I accidentally swiped left. What do I do?

To undo an accidental left swipe on the home screen, you can either shake your phone to undo your left swipe, or tap the "..." menu in the upper right hand corner of the home screen and click the "Undo" option from the drop down menu.

I'm receiving too many messages. How can I limit the number of inbound messages?

If you are receiving too many inbound messages on Sweet Pea, there are a few ways to solve this problem.

  • Turn off 'Discoverable' in the app settings page. Turning off Discoverable will hide your profile from users who have not already messaged you.
  • The 'Answers' section of your inbox is tiered in to two 'filing cabinet' style sections. The first section shows inbound messages from people you like and mutual likes. The second sections shows messages from people who are not mutual likes, and who you have not yet liked. Closing either of these sections will no longer notify you of new, inbound messages from people in either of these sections.
  • Upgrading to VIPea will give you the option to only display your profile to people you have liked and / or messaged, which will drastically reduce the number of inbound messages you receive.
How do I report someone?

To report someone, tap the ellipsis in the upper right hand corner of their profile photo and select the option that says "Report..."

You will be able to select your reason from reporting them, as well as leave additional comments for Sweet Pea admins to review.
