How to Change Location on OkCupid to Find Better Matches

How Does Location Work on OkCupid?

OkCupid is one of the popular location-based dating apps to find love or friendship online. It works by scanning your registered city or location and helping you find potential matches within a specific distance. The Discover feature on the app pulls the phone's current location so your profile is shown to people who are near you at that time. While this feature works well, it can limit your options. If you want more expansive and better options, faking location on OkCupid can be specifically helpful.

How to Change Location on OkCupid [100% Safe Methods]

Often, OkCupid users are concerned about their data and privacy. Therefore, they look for ways to either hide or fake locations on OkCupid. If you want to simply hide OkCupid's location, go to the Settings app on your phone and select OkCupid in the app list. Turn off the location services so nobody can know about your whereabouts. While this method gets the job done, it will turn off all the applications and services that use location. For this reason, it's preferred to change OkCupid's location rather than hide it.

Method 1: Official Way to Change OkCupid Location

Changing the current location on dating applications like OkCupid does not necessarily mean hiding the accurate location. Sometimes, it means you are traveling or relocating to a new location. For people who are traveling, OkCupid allows you to change the location via settings — so you can hang out or date someone in the new locality.

Here are the steps you'll need to follow to change location on OkCupid officially:

• Open the OkCupid app on your mobile phone and then tap on the profile photo.
• There, you'll find a pen icon. Click it.
• Now, you can set a location based on where you're currently residing.

If you're planning to use OkCupid on PC, you can follow the below steps:

• Open your OkCupid account and head to the Settings page.
• Select the Listed Location option, followed by setting a new position or site detail.

Remember, this method only helps in location adjustment but does nothing to protect your online privacy.

Note: If you can't change OkCupid's location, make sure the GPS or location services are enabled on your device.
