Match
App featureA mutual yes on a dating app: both users have shown interest.
What it means
A match happens when both you and another user have signaled interest in each other (right swipes, likes, or whatever the app's mechanism is). Until you have a match, you typically can't message each other. The match is the gate to the next stage of any app-based dating interaction.
