Feeld is one of the few dating apps designed with couples in mind. The pairing feature lets you link your profile with your partner's, showing you as a unit to potential matches.
But how exactly does pairing work? Is it better than separate profiles? This guide walks through everything couples need to know about connecting accounts on Feeld.
What Is Account Pairing on Feeld?
Pairing links two individual Feeld profiles together. When paired:
- Both profiles appear connected to each other
- Potential matches can see you're a couple
- You can browse together or separately
- Your relationship status is transparent
Think of it as saying "we're together" without having to explain it in every conversation.
How to Pair Your Feeld Accounts
Step 1: Both Partners Create Accounts
Each person needs their own Feeld account first. You can't create a single shared account—pairing connects two separate profiles.
What you need:
- Each partner downloads the app
- Each creates a profile with their own photos and bio
- Each verifies their account (phone number, Apple ID, etc.)
Step 2: Find the Pairing Option
Once both accounts exist:
- Open Feeld and go to your profile settings
- Look for "Pair with Partner" or "Connect Accounts"
- The exact location varies by app version—check Settings or Profile sections
Step 3: Send/Accept Pairing Request
One partner initiates:
- Select the pairing option
- Enter your partner's Feeld username or email
- Send the pairing request
Other partner accepts:
- They'll receive a notification or see the request in their settings
- They review and accept
- Accounts are now linked
Step 4: Confirm Pairing
Once accepted:
- Both profiles show as paired
- A link to your partner's profile appears on yours
- Potential matches see your connected status
Paired vs. Separate Profiles: The Options
Couples on Feeld have three main approaches:
Option 1: Paired Profiles (Recommended for Most)
Both have individual profiles that are visibly linked.
Pros:
- Transparent about your relationship
- People can see both partners before connecting
- Builds trust—nothing hidden
- Each person maintains their own identity
Cons:
- Some singles avoid couples (their loss, honestly)
- Requires coordination between partners
Option 2: Shared "Couples Profile"
Creating one profile that represents both of you together.
Note: Feeld is designed for individual profiles that pair, not joint accounts. Some couples work around this by one person creating an account and including both in photos/bio, but this isn't the intended use.
Pros:
- Simpler to manage (one account)
- Presents you as a unit from the start
Cons:
- Goes against Feeld's design philosophy
- Harder to show individual personalities
- Matches might not know who they're talking to
- May feel less authentic
Option 3: Unpaired Separate Profiles
Both have individual profiles with no visible connection.
Pros:
- Maximum flexibility
- Can explore independently
- More privacy from each other's activity
Cons:
- Not transparent about relationship status
- Matches may feel misled when they learn you're coupled
- Can create awkward situations
Which Approach Works Best?
For most couples exploring ENM or seeking thirds, paired profiles work best because:
- Transparency builds trust - People appreciate knowing upfront
- Shows you're on the same page - Pairing signals you're doing this together
- Avoids awkward reveals - No "oh by the way I have a partner" moment
- Lets both personalities show - Individual profiles with couple context

What Paired Profiles Look Like to Others
When someone finds a paired profile in their discover feed:
They See
- The profile of whoever appears in their feed
- A visible indicator that this person is paired
- A link to view the partner's profile
- Both people's photos and bios (if they click through)
They Understand
- "This is a coupled person"
- "There's another person involved"
- "I can see both before deciding"
How They Interact
- They can like/pass on the profile they see
- If curious about the partner, they can view their profile
- Matching typically means they're interested in both
Pairing Settings and Privacy
Who Controls What
Each partner maintains control over their own profile:
- Your photos
- Your bio
- Your Desires and Interests
- Who you like/pass on
What's shared is the connection itself—that you're together.
Can You See Each Other's Activity?
Pairing doesn't give you access to your partner's:
- Swipes and likes
- Messages and conversations
- Profile views
You're connected, not surveilled. Each person's activity remains private.
Unpairing
If you need to disconnect profiles:
- Go to pairing settings
- Select "Unpair" or "Disconnect"
- Both profiles revert to individual status
- Your existing matches and conversations remain
Common Pairing Questions
Can we have different preferences?
Yes. Each partner can set their own:
- Age range
- Distance
- Gender preferences
- Desires
You might match with different people based on individual settings.
Do we both need Majestic?
Premium features apply per account. If one partner has Majestic and the other doesn't:
- The premium partner gets premium features on their account
- The free partner doesn't gain premium access
- Features don't transfer
For premium benefits, see our Feeld pricing guide.
What if my partner doesn't want to pair?
That's a conversation to have outside the app. Some considerations:
- Why don't they want to pair? Privacy? Independence? Something else?
- Are you aligned on how you want to present yourselves?
- Is unpaired exploration okay with both of you?
This is about relationship agreements more than app features.
Can I pair with more than one person?
As of now, Feeld supports pairing between two accounts. Polycules with more than two might need to use bio text to explain their situation.
Optimizing Your Paired Profiles
Coordinate But Don't Clone
Good: Each profile has unique photos and personality while sharing compatible Desires.
Bad: Near-identical profiles that make you seem like one person split in two.
Show that you're together but still individuals.
Reference Each Other Naturally
Your bio might mention:
- "Partner's profile linked—check us both out"
- "We're a package deal for certain adventures"
- A brief mention of what you're seeking together
Don't make your entire bio about your partner—you still need to represent yourself.
Photos Together and Apart
Include:
- At least one photo of each of you solo (so people can tell you apart)
- Optionally, one photo together
- Photos showing your individual interests and personalities
A gallery of only couple photos makes it hard to know who's who.
Make Your Desires Complement
If you're seeking shared experiences:
- Align on core Desires (e.g., both have "Threesome" if that's the goal)
- Differ on personal Desires that don't involve both of you
- Make sure nothing contradicts the couple message
For Desire strategy, see our Feeld desires guide.
After Pairing: What's Next?
Once you're paired and your profiles are set up:
Browse Together or Separately
Some couples enjoy browsing together, discussing profiles. Others prefer to swipe independently and compare notes later. Find what works for you.
Coordinate Conversations
When you match:
- Decide who initiates conversation
- Or have both reach out if they've liked both profiles
- Be consistent about how you communicate
See Who Likes You (Majestic Feature)
With premium, you can see who's already interested. This helps couples find people who are into both of them.

Troubleshooting Pairing Issues
Can't Find Partner's Profile
- Make sure they've completed account setup
- Verify you have the correct username/email
- Ask them to check their account status
Pairing Request Not Received
- Check spam/notification settings
- Try sending again
- Have partner look in their Feeld settings directly
Want to Change Paired Partner
You'll need to:
- Unpair from current partner
- Complete that process
- Pair with new partner
Feeld doesn't support instant switching—there's a disconnect then reconnect process.

Getting paired is just setup. The real challenge is connecting with people who want to meet both of you. Poise helps couples write profiles that attract the right attention and craft messages that feel genuine—because good communication is even more important when there are two of you.
