Support

Answers to common questions, and real people to talk to when you need them.

Last updated 23 October 2026

Contact us

  • In the app: Settings → Help and support → Contact support. This is the quickest way, because we can see which account you are writing about.
  • By email: support@orbit.deelo.in. Please write from the email you sign in with, or tell us what it is.
  • Privacy requests and grievances: privacy@orbit.deelo.in.

We usually reply within 2 business days. Reports about someone’s behaviour are reviewed within 24 hours. Please use the Report button in the app for those.

If you are in danger, contact local emergency services (112 in India) first. Then report the person in Orbit.

Account and sign-in

My email code isn’t arriving

Codes usually arrive within a minute. If yours hasn’t:

  • Check your spam, junk or promotions folder.
  • Make sure the email address is spelled correctly.
  • Wait a minute, then tap to send a new code. Each code works for 10 minutes, and only the newest one works.
  • If you have asked for a lot of codes, you may need to wait a little before trying again.

Still stuck? Email support@orbit.deelo.in.

How does Sign in with Apple work?

Tap “Sign in with Apple” and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. You can choose to hide your email; Apple then gives us a private relay address that forwards to you. Always sign in the same way, so you get back to the same account.

My birthday or name is wrong

You can change your name and photos in Edit profile. Your date of birth cannot be changed in the app. If it is wrong, contact support from Settings → Help and support and we will help.

Your data and deleting your account

How do I download my data?

In the app, go to Settings → Download my data. You get a copy of everything you have given us, such as your profile, photos, messages and settings.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings → Delete account. It takes effect immediately: you are signed out everywhere, and your profile, photos, messages, matches, Plans and vouches are deleted. Some records, such as safety reports and anonymised purchase records, are kept for a limited time. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Deleting your account does not cancel Orbit Plus. Cancel your subscription first in your Apple ID subscription settings.

Can I take a break without deleting?

Yes. Pause discovery in Settings. Nobody new sees you while paused, and your matches and chats carry on.

Location and privacy

Can other people see where I am?

No. Your exact location is never shared. Your phone sends us only an approximate area (about 1 km), we store it rounded, and we delete it 24 hours after your last update. Other people only ever see a distance band, such as “Within 1 km”.

Why does Orbit show distance bands instead of exact distance?

An exact distance, checked from a few different spots, can be used to work out where someone is. A band keeps that from happening. You choose the closest band anyone can see you at, and it is never less than 300 m.

Why is the distance wrong?

Distances are deliberately approximate. If you have just travelled, open Orbit to update your area. Very large jumps in a short time are ignored as implausible, so it may take a moment to catch up.

Do notifications show my messages?

Not by default. Message text is hidden in notifications unless you turn on Show message text in notifications in Settings.

Verification

How does the selfie check work?

Orbit asks you to take a selfie in a random pose, such as turning your head a little to the left and smiling. We check that one face is in the photo, that it matches the pose, and that it matches your profile photos. If it does, you get a Verified badge.

Your selfie is stored privately, never shown on your profile, and deleted when you delete your account. Read more in the Privacy Policy.

My verification failed. Can I try again?

Yes, you can try up to 5 times a day. For the best result, use good light, hold the phone at face height, copy the pose shown, and make sure your profile photos clearly show your face. Some attempts go to a moderator to check; you will see the result in the app.

Vouches

What are vouches?

After you have chatted with or met someone, you can vouch for them with positive tags, such as “Respectful”, “Photos match” or “Showed up”. Vouches add up to a genuine level on their profile.

Can people see who vouched for them?

No. Vouches are anonymous, and there are only positive tags, so nobody can leave a bad review. If someone behaved badly, please report them instead.

Plans

How do Plans work?

Post something you would like to do, such as coffee or a walk, with a day, a time window and a general area. People nearby can show interest, and you see who is interested. If you like someone back, you agree the exact place in chat.

Who can see my Plan?

People nearby who could match with you. They see the activity, day, time window and general area, never your exact location.

Safety

How do I report or block someone?

Open their profile or your chat with them, tap the menu, and choose Report or Block. They are not told who reported them. We review reports within 24 hours.

Someone asked me for money

Do not send it. It is almost always a scam. Report the person so we can act. Read our Community Guidelines for more tips.

I feel unsafe or I’m in danger

Call 112 (in India) or your local emergency number straight away. When you are safe, report the person in Orbit, and email support@orbit.deelo.in if you need us to help with anything else.

Orbit Plus and purchases

How do I cancel or change Orbit Plus?

Orbit Plus is billed by Apple. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings, or on your iPhone in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid being charged for the next period.

I bought something but don’t see it

Make sure you are signed in to the same Apple ID you bought with, then open the Orbit Plus screen and tap Restore purchases. If it still doesn’t appear, contact support with the date of purchase.

How do I get a refund?

Apple handles all payments and refunds. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Suspensions and appeals

Why was my account suspended?

Accounts are suspended when they break our Community Guidelines or Terms of Use. Some clear cases are caught by automatic checks; others are decided by a moderator after a report. While suspended, you cannot sign in and your profile is not shown to anyone.

How do I appeal?

Email support@orbit.deelo.in (the suspension screen in the app has an Email support button). Tell us the email or phone number you sign in with, and anything you think we should know. A person will review your case and reply.
