Display full name
Like Hinge, make it so that if you provide a last name on your profile, it will be shared with users you match with.

Michael Patterson AdminThis is a feature we are strongly considering adding to help improve safety. We at the Mutual team would love users feedback on if they like this or not.

ExsaI get that it can help with safety but it can also do the opposite bc it wil make it easier for others to find you which is scary too.

HollyMaybe make it an option and not a default... sometimes I match with someone, talk and they creep me out..

SethMy first thought is that this is not a good idea. I feel this way because then it would be too easy to find people and contact them, even if it wasn't mutual. If people don't mind it being mutual or not, then they leave other forms of social media in their bio so you can do that. I think most people don't want to be contacted unless it ends up being mutual with whoever.

ZachI'd say naw for safety. I'm not too convinced on this. Knowing the last name should come at like a 1st or 2nd date thing.

ChanI don’t understand how it would improve safety!?!? Knowing that information makes it easier for people to find you and I don’t want that unless I choose to give that person that info. If you really think it could be safer, make it an option vs a requirement.

Brayden AndersonI think, as long as it’s after you match, then your safe. This way if you are afraid of people just finding you. They can’t unless they already know you.

AAbsolutely not. I no longer have social media, but when I did my name is unique enough that people would frequently send me creepy messages. Or I’d unmatch with someone and they would send angry messages on social media. By someone’s full name in a google search you can often find address, phone number, etc. this is a horrible safety idea!

PaigeI think having it be an option for users to personally decide is best. I would rather just share that information on a case by case basis, rather than to anyone who matches with me. It seems like it could encourage stalking, which is already easy enough to do in this day and age.

JillI agree with the others that this would be a safety concern for me and if implemented, I'd probably not use the app anymore. Maybe instead, a "request last name of a match from Mutual," then Mutual has to get permission from the other user before confirming the last name. That way, the owner of the last name is in control of if/ when it is shared.

DThis is creepy. I’ve had two different stalkers from Mutual and I’m not interested in disclosing my full name to matches.
Also wish we could downvote suggestions here. -

MorganNo. I wouldn’t be comfortable with having strangers know my last name without hardly knowing them. If you want to find out their last name, ask them by actually messaging each other and going on a date. I’d much rather not have my full name out there unless it’s under my permission and I trust whomever I’m talking to.

FrancescaNO PLEASE
You are not going to like or get along with every single person you match with, that's why there is that unmatch button. I feel like i need the freedom to tell you my last name on my own, when I'm comfortable& when i feel like we can move the conversation to other Social Media platforms. Some people are stalkers & creepy, they be sliding in the DMs. -

AnonymousNot a fan of this idea. I prefer anonymity.

RAbsolutely not. This would have the opposite effect. You could require it at sign up, so only mutual knows this information though.

AngelaAs someone who has had a stalker who met me through a dating app, I veto this idea full heartedly. That is opening up the floodgate to too much potential safety issues. Also, Mutual, does your team understand the ramifications for yourselves as developers of this app if you start having users report feeling unsafe because of threats and potential stalkers if you allowed this kind of feature? I think everyone should be as safe as they possibly can no matter what dating app, site, or wherever or however else they meet a potential date. But I also firmly believe that companies who are in the dating/relationship app and website development sector also play a vital role in ensuring the safety of their users. I think to mitigate as much safety risk as possible for all users, this feature should never happen.

SophieNo, FOR SCAMS REASONS, full name shouldn't never be disclosed publicaly with all the extra you say about you, disclosing full name can be unsafe!!!
Not even with the app system ... who knows if it gets hacked!
This is for safety reasons.
You have the scammers and you have the obsessed ones ... thanks, but NO thanks
People asked my number in this site and other sites. Now, I have daily phone call from all kind of scams, 3 times per day!!!!
Are you kidding me?!?!?!
Safety is always basics -

AnneNo way for full name! I've met many would-be scammers here and I don't want my unique name, location, and photos for scary people or scammers to find me. The first name is bad enough and I don't use it. Makes it unsafe and no way, please!
