In addition to that, a team of moderators work diligently to ensure that any suspicious or potentially harmful content is removed from the platform.
Powering up the Profile
The very first thing that a person sees when they are interested in you is your profile. A profile goes beyond a flashy picture and some cheesy quote. On Hitwe, there is a wide variety of tools that you can use to make your profile stand out from the crowd. In addition to being able to sync your Hitwe profile with your facebook profile, you can add as much information as you want about yourself. There is no limit to the number of photo uploads you can make
The dashboard of your profile contains icons that display the number of visitors of your profile, the number of likes you have received, and the number of likes you have given out. If you want to know in detail about the people who have visited you, you can head over to the “Notifications” tab. To access the complete features of the notification tab, you can upgrade to the premium membership.
The pane on the left-hand side of your profile contains icons for instant access to all your messages, likes, contacts and much more. The “Discovery” section is the one that connects you to other people. You can embark on an exploration or a discovery for the person of your dreams completely hassle-free. The section of “Mutual Likes” displays those profiles who you have “liked” and have received “likes” from them.
The user profile is set up in such a way that you won’t have to go through the banal task of filling out forms for the purpose of finding people “suitable” for you. The algorithm matches you with other people based on your profile. Unlike meeting a stranger in a bar or a club, the profiles shown to you are a result of various calculations in the background. People who reside nearby will be shown more often than those who don’t.
Core Features
Conventional algorithms used by many dating platforms tend to make users fill out tedious forms and then search for matches based on that information; which is not a reliable way of finding potential partners. We, at Hitwe, pride ourselves on the flexibility of the network.
To make your profile attractive, you can upload a quality profile picture and add details describing your personality. A book cannot be judged by its cover and in a similar way, a person cannot judge you solely based on your pictures. After your profile is complete, you can head over to the “Discovery” section in the Menu and look for potential matches.
You can “like” or “dislike” other people’s profiles in the Discovery section. Once you have made your choice on the other person, the system will immediately produce the next challenger in line for your perusal. You could make your choice straightaway or you can add them to your list of contacts and revisit them later. You can also click on their profile and look at the number of likes and visitors that they have received. If you choose to send a message to them, you are given a choice of selecting from a few different introductory phrases. You can, of course, choose to type in your own signature introductory message.
The Royal Treatment
While every user can take advantage of the core features of the network, upgrading to a premium account entitles you to certain benefits as outlined below:
Stymying the Scammer
After the unprecedented rise in recognition and popularity, many malicious entities attempted to abuse the network to satisfy their own means. The modus operandi of most spammers/scammers is to portray themselves as someone that they are not, establish a strong bond with an innocent user, and ask for money or private information that would serve their end.
Some of the most common patterns of scams are outlined below:
Hitwe makes use of the latest technology to keep the network safe and free from
misleading or offensive content. The Google Cloud Vision API is a computer vision algorithm that can classify and detect faces, items or text within an image.
Furthermore, a team of 40+ moderators work around the clock to filter out any offensive content that may have escaped the clutches of the algorithm.
After extensively surveying and studying popular spamming techniques, the technical team at Hitwe implemented security algorithms that targeted those techniques. A guideline of best practices for using the network is provided on our website. After the anti-fraud system was introduced in 2016, the spam level has diminished to a mere 1-2%.
The best weapons against spammers are the users themselves and a complaint by a user against a potential offender can lead to the spammer being banned from using the network. Any complaints by a user of the network is taken very seriously and we urge our users to report any suspicion, no matter how remote it may be, to the staff of Hitwe.

Two sides of a coin
Like every other social discovery network out there, Hitwe comes with benefits and limitations. The tools and features of Hitwe make it one of the best choices of dating platforms. Its unique search and discovery feature allows you to find other people with ease. However, there are many out there who seek to take advantage of you. The platform is subject to risks that comes with having an online community.
The cutting-edge technology used to filter scammers may not be enough in some cases. We advise you to be vigilant in your interactions on the network. Also, people tend to open up too soon to others they have just met. Be informed that many people may have no intention of forging a relationship on the network. Many people browse dating platforms facetiously.
The concept of a Premium membership helps in deterring many casual netizens. A premium user is more likely to be looking for a meaningful relationship. With that said, it is not a given that every premium user is to be trusted as scammers have been known to upgrade to premium accounts in order to have access to more tools that serve their end.
Being vigilant on social discovery/networking platforms means not revealing your personal information to someone you have just met. Start by knowing more about them and look for any red flags that have been propounded upon in the earlier sections of the review. If you intend to meet them, arrange to meet them in a public place such as a cafe or a restaurant rather than their residence. And always let your friends know the identity of the other person and the location where you are headed.
