The best way to tell if an eHarmony profile is active is by monitoring their activity on the platform.

Any changes they make to their profile—such as new photos or updated details—are visible unless they hide or pause their profile. If their profile is hidden, you won’t be able to access it.

Here are some key signs that an eHarmony profile is currently active:

1. Check if they have recently changed their photos or bio.

The best way to tell if an eHarmony profile is active is by tracking its changes.

Look for updates to their profile photo, bio, or highlights. If they aren’t replying to you, but you notice these changes, it’s a sign they’re still active.

To make it easier, take a screenshot or jot down details and compare after a few days or weeks.

Active users often tweak their profiles—especially their profile picture—to attract more matches.

2. Check Their Online Status

The easiest way to tell if someone is active on eHarmony is by checking their online status.

• If they haven’t enabled Do Not Display Mode, a green dot will appear under their profile when they’re online.
• If they were active today or yesterday, this information will be displayed under their profile picture.

To check:

1. Click on their profile.
2. Look below their profile picture for their name and age.
3. Below their profession, you’ll find their online status.

3. Send a Message and Wait for a Response

A simple way to check if someone is active is to send them a message (if you’ve matched) and see if they reply.

In the meantime, explore other matches and keep your options open.

If they don’t respond for over a month, eHarmony automatically removes them from your matches list. This means they haven’t logged in for two months, indicating their profile is inactive.

4. Check If Their Uploaded Photos Have Changed

Just like Bumble, eHarmony requires a Premium Membership to view photos, but you don’t need to pay to tell if a profile is active.

Simply look at the number of photos next to their online status.

• If the number increases, they’ve added new photos.
• If it decreases, they’ve removed some.

Any change means they’re active on the app.

5. Check for the “New Here” Badge

eHarmony, like Tinder, uses profile badges to indicate activity. If you see the “New Here” tag on a profile, it means the account is recently created and active—though not necessarily online at that moment.

To find this badge, check their profile carefully; it’s usually displayed near their location.

Can You Hide Your Active Status on eHarmony?

Yes, you can. To turn off your online status:

1. Log in to your eHarmony account.
2. Click the arrow icon on the top right.
3. Select Data and Settings.
4. Find the Online Now feature and toggle the green slider off.

This prevents others from seeing when you’re online, but it also means you won’t see their status either. Some users may also pause their profile, making it invisible to new matches—though old matches can still see it.

What Do Two Ticks on Messages Mean?

eHarmony has read receipts, so if you see two ticks on your message, it means the recipient has read it—a clear sign they’re active.

To tell if an eHarmony profile is active, you need to sign up and observe their activity over time. Sending a message is the quickest way to check. If they don’t reply but continue updating their profile, they’re active but ignoring you.

Don’t stress over it—if they’re uninterested or unreliable, focus on better matches!
