The last step you have to do before you can proceed and start finding matches is to send a selfie verification. You will then have to wait until you get verified.

Minder's profile section is very concise and straight to the point. It contains some of your basic information, including your family origin, educational attainment, and occupation. The app also added a few important things like your marital status, "Religiosity", and "Flavor". To measure religiosity, you are to adjust a gauge according to how religious you are. Its range is from not practising to very religious.
You might be wondering what "Flavor" pertains to. It is a term that Minder uses to describe what type of Muslim you are. In the options, you will see two of Islam's biggest branches, Sunni and Sia. It also has a "Just Muslim " option for the ones who are not that specific with their denomination. If you feel like you don't quite match well with the flavor options available, you can always choose "Others."
Your profile information can be changed or updated anytime. The information you provide in your profile will be made public. Anyone can have access to profiles for free.

Minder Real Life Review
"I always wanted to try and find a date online but I always get no luck in meeting someone who gets me. Growing up in a Muslim family in a western country isn't easy. The mix of cultures and the religious point of views are somehow difficult to understand for other people. That's why I was so glad when I found out that there is a Tinder-like app for Muslims! I have been using Minder for a few weeks now and I am surprised to find a lot of singles that are actively using it. I have matched with quite a lot of beautiful and successful Muslim women near my area and so far I am pleased with how well I click with them. I'm looking forward to meeting them in person and I have high hopes that I will find my perfect match here." - Khurshid, 25
Design and Usability
Minder comes in a red and white app colors that is neither too intense nor too boring. It is visible from the website alone that it is well-maintained in terms of design.
The functions are working as expected and they are always easy to understand. If you are confused about something, they have a handy FAQ page on the website to help you. However, these instances are rare because the buttons are simple but functional.

Minder offers a specific premium feature that does not belong in the Premium upgrade, called "Telegram". Telegrams give you the ability to send a message to people you haven't matched with. It is represented by a red email icon beside the name of each person in the "I liked" or "I passed" section.
This feature is sold separately and can be bought per piece or packs. The number of telegrams you buy determines the number of times you can use the feature. Since it is not part of the premium plan, even standard members can purchase it without having to upgrade their accounts.
Special Features
Minder is a pretty basic app, with features that are very similar to most of the existing dating apps in the market. But it does have a couple of cool features you never know you needed.
Telegram
Have you ever skipped on someone accidentally while swiping? Yes? Well, don't worry, Minder's telegram feature will let you send a message to anyone you haven't matched. It is a paid feature you can use a limited number of times depending on the pack you have purchased.
Explore
Minder's explore option is pretty different from others. In this section, you will be able to see a list of people who liked you (paid feature), a list of people you passed on, and a list of people you liked.
