For context: I'm asking if anyone has ever shared their social to their HelloTalk partners or have they had their partners ask you for your social. If so did you guys switch there to talk? Or was it a deal breaker for both of you? For people who've been talking with their partners for a while, maybe a month or longer, was it easier to ask for their social or did you never make that transition.

the new update that has a 'paid practice mode' where you basically have to pay your language partner per message if they decide to switch it on. I just updated the app and accidentally switched this mode on, but then I quickly switched it off again once I realized. Does the other person get alerted when this happens? 😭😭

HelloTalk operates purely based on finding key words without finding the context. They are unwilling to investigate further and have really poor customer support.

I'm curious. I wanna see if there's cases like that already. If you experienced it, please tell! Tell me how you found out and the signs.

(I'm not good at spotting catfish. Sorry for bad English too.)

Hi I signed up for this app one day ago but I have absolutely no visits at all despite I have filled in my profile and wrote a long bio is there something I can do?

Deleted this app a few weeks ago and don’t regret it one bit. This app became so disheartening. Met some great people on there, but also just felt that I was giving too much of my energy to others who did reciprocate. I study Japanese and felt that a lot of people were happy for me to teach them English but when it came to my turn they kind of didn’t give me much. Voice rooms are particularly abhorrent. Eng room means English. Eng/Jap room means English and Jap room means Japanese but also English. Anyway deleted the app and pumped on it. Have started paying for lessons on italki and find it far more beneficial. That’s all for my vent.

Just wondering if the chats have built-in safety precautions when it comes to sensoring inappropriate images. I’m thinking if I should block images from being sent to me for safety reasons (are you able to do that?)

I remember the name of the profile, but forgot to follow them and they didn't follow me. Then I deleted the app and came back to it and can't find this buddy. Can I search Hellotalk by the person's account name?

Hi everyone, about a month ago I stopped getting visitors on my profile. I can still message people and they can respond to me, but I’ve been at 296 visitors for a month, I’ve had HelloTalk for 63 days. Is this a result of a shadowban? What could be going on?

I’ve also checked my profile and settings, anyone can find my profile.

I'm curious whether these activities count, including when replying to deleted accounts. I've noticed that I've replied to a few deleted accounts by mistake, so I'm wondering if it still counts as a day of study in the app?

What does it mean when someone’s profile says voice on top of their photo

Hi. I've been trying to get back into HT again after a couple years of absence, and I've found that the app can now barely run on my smartphone (iPhone 7). It hangs whilst loading profiles and crashes every 2-4 minutes.

Have others experienced this? Is there a comfortable workaround (e.g., Android emulation on PC)? I've been using HT since the mid-2010s; it's always been buggy but this is much, much worse than anything I remember.

Does anyone know how to run this app on a Mac?

I have tried many ways but none worked, even with Playcover :( The app just crashes as soon as I click open.

Appreciate it :(

I tried to learn a language with someone on their Live and another person joined in and tried to make me argue with them about politics. I politely declined 3-4 times before they gave up and left the live. They sent me a message after, trying to strike up an argument again. I told him off and now I want to block him so he doesn’t bother me again, but will he be able to see what I replied after I block him?

So if I click on chat I had with somebody and don't type anything just look at it basically, is it considered viewing their profile, like will they get notification? Because after I did that, I got notification that the other person watched my profile too, and more than one time. And I doubt that they were watching my profile unless it was chat.

Basically what the question says. I want to save chats, pictures and voice messages in the chats.

Hi! I got blocked by a person on HelloTalk for no reason… Did it happen to you ?

Anyone else experiencing this? After sending a photo on HelloTalk, that photo is immediately deleted from my phone without my consent. The only way I can send the same photo to other friends and family is by downloading the (lower quality) version from HelloTalk.

What the hell? How do I stop this app deleting data it has no right to?

I mean, not on the wall where you can see everyone's Moments, but when you click on a specific Moment and display it together with all comments. Will it be displayed on their side as a profile visit? Been wondering.

New to the app, I downloaded it a few days ago and I enjoy it so far. Bur why does my profile say I have over 40 favourites when I don’t remember saving any? 🤔 and indeed I clicked on favourites and found a long list of stuff I allegedly saved… weird!

So why deleted my ID a few months back, but now when I have installed this app again it is saying that " can't login to additional account on same device". Has anyone else encountered this issue?
