Signing In

Last updated on Apr 20, 2026

Signing In with Apple ID

Rove uses Sign in with Apple for every account. No email signup, no password. It's faster, more private, and the reason we can promise real people on the other side of every profile.

Why Apple ID

  • Identity verification — Apple verifies every Apple ID with phone and biometrics. That verification extends to your Rove profile.
  • Privacy — Apple doesn't track your activity across apps.
  • Security — Two-factor authentication is built in; biometrics unlock the app.
  • Simplicity — Nothing to remember.
  • Hide My Email — you can keep your real email address private from us; Apple handles forwarding.

Requirements

  • An iOS device running iOS 13 or later
  • An active Apple ID
  • A phone number capable of receiving SMS

How to Sign In

  1. Open the Rove app.
  2. Tap Continue with Apple.
  3. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.
  4. Enter your phone number.
  5. Enter the verification code we text you.

That's it. You're in.

Switching Devices

Your Rove account is tied to your Apple ID, not your device. Sign into your new iPhone with the same Apple ID, open Rove, tap Continue with Apple, and your profile, matches, and conversations are all there.

Troubleshooting

Can't sign in?

  • Make sure your iOS is version 13 or later.
  • Check that your Apple ID is properly set up in Settings → [your name].
  • Confirm you have a stable internet connection.
  • If Sign in with Apple isn't prompting you, restart the app.

Verification code didn't arrive?

  • Confirm the phone number is correct, including country code.
  • Wait 60 seconds, then tap Resend Code.
  • Make sure SMS from unknown senders isn't blocked.
  • Check that you have cell or Wi-Fi calling signal.

Signed out unexpectedly?

  • Re-open the app and sign in again.
  • Your profile, photos, matches, and conversations are all preserved.
  • If sign-in fails after the second try, contact us — we can help.

Using a private Apple ID relay email?

  • Completely fine. Rove doesn't need your real email. Apple forwards anything we send through to you.
  • If you ever stop forwarding from Apple's private relay, you may miss account notifications. You can re-enable it in Settings → Apple ID → Sign in with Apple → Rove.

Deleting Your Account

Sign in, go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your profile, conversations, and data from Rove. You can create a fresh account later with the same Apple ID if you want to come back.
