Why Don’t I See My Matches in the Main Feed?
If you’re expecting to see new matches but don’t see them in your dashboard or profile views, don’t worry, most likely, the match is already available… just in a different place.
Where to Look First
All match suggestions appear inside the Pairings tab on each person’s profile. We don’t have a single “feed” that shows every new match, instead, matches are grouped by person to keep things organized.
How to Check for Matches
Go to the My People page
Click on the person you’re curious about
Navigate to the Pairings tab
Use the filters to check:
All pairings
Other users
Library of Congress
Uncertain or Declined (if previously reviewed)
If the system has a match for that person, you’ll find it there.
Why We Don’t Use a Global Match Feed
The person-level view helps:
Prevent overwhelm when you upload lots of photos
Keep matches tied to the profiles you’ve created
Let you control review speed and focus
This structure also reduces the chance of error, especially in cases with lookalikes or large families.
