Function or how Flingr works?
Unfortunately, Flingr does not offer a function to block users. The best way to avoid unwanted messages is by not opening or responding to them. You can also report users to moderators, who can then check the user's behavior.
More often than not, people want to interact with users in their geographical area. Therefore, the ability to filter users by region is essential. In addition, you can filter users based on simple criteria.
Online dating could not exist without chat and messaging. Flingr gives users the ability to send and accept chat invitations. Chat also contains other communication features for you to express yourself (these include emojis, virtual gifts, etc.).
Basic searches are not available. Also, more specialized searches based on filters (gender, age, photo, users online now) are not available.

Privacy and anonymity
Both public and private services exist for online dating. If you are someone who values your anonymity and wants to protect your information, you may want to choose a private platform. Public dating services often allow anyone, even unregistered users, to access the site and view user’s information.
User profiles are visible to anyone not registered with the service. Therefore, anyone could potentially see your profile, or information. This means users should take caution with what kind of information they share on the platform.
Prevention of false profiles and fraud
In Terms of Service (Tos) Flingr mentions the use of moderators or animateurs who operate chats and encourage premium memberships. This means users will have to pay to engage with chatbots, or people who will be using copy/pasted text in their conversations. There is also no option to actually date these “users,” which is not the authentic experience people seek from dating sites.
Registering on Flingr will require you to confirm your email address. This is a basic prevention measure to eliminate the creation of fake or fraudulent profiles. This makes the experience on Flingr more secure, and leads to a better overall experience on the platform.
Profile photos and images that users upload to dating do not go through any moderated approval process. Therefore, you may be surprised by what you can find on: fraudulent profiles (of celebrities, popular movie characters, or even cats and dogs). Since manual photo approval is intended to prevent exactly this problem, fraudulent or fake profiles may be common and recognizable based on the photo alone. Manual approval also helps filter out objectionable and explicit photos that users occasionally upload to dating sites.
Terms and Conditions (TOS)
This dating site has its Terms accessible (you will find a link to them on the main page). We recommend that you read them before registering. Although the text can be lengthy, it is important to familiarize yourself with it.
