How long does it take eharmony to approve photos?

Writer Caleb Butler

It takes about 45 minutes for eharmony to approve photos on your profile. You can upload up to six photos. If you would like to use more photos on your profile, update them one by one after they are approved. It’s important that you get the best possible matches on eharmony, which is why all of your photos need to be approved before they will appear in our matching process.

Why is it necessary that all of my photos are approved before they appear in matches?

There are multiple factors to consider when entering into a long-term relationship. One of those factors is physical attraction, and making sure that the feeling is mutual between two people before getting too personal can be a very important part of dating. By approving your photos, eharmony can help you find people who are physically attracted to you.

What are the criteria for photos being approved on my profile?

All of your photos need to be appropriate and modest. For example, any photo that is too revealing or suggestive will not be approved, neither will any with inappropriate graphics, text, watermarks or anything else.

Why can’t I upload a photo of myself?

Photos that are placed on your eharmony profile should be photos that someone else has taken of you, not photos that you have taken of yourself. This is to ensure that people get the most accurate idea about who you really are and what kind of person they will match with.

How many photos do I need for my profile to get approved?

You can add up to six photos on eharmony. If you would like more than six, we recommend updating the photos one at a time while your profile is in review and approval status. After they’ve been reviewed and approved, these additional photos will be available in your messaging queue.
