Quick answers about matching, creating trips, favorites, and account settings.

Account & Sign-in

Q: Do I need an account to use CoSphere?

A: Browsing public content may not require sign-in, but creating/joining trips, favorites, and messaging usually require sign-in to keep matching and communication safer.

Q: What if I forgot my password?

A: Use the “Forgot password” flow on the sign-in page (if available), or update your sign-in info in Account Settings.

A: Yes. Go to Edit Profile to update your display name, tagline, bio, travel style, and languages so potential travel buddies can understand you better.

Trips & Matching

A: Complete your profile (style, languages, bio), describe your pace and budget clearly, and provide specifics when you apply or reply (timing, interests, preferences).

Favorites & Messages

Q: What are favorites for?

A: Save trips or explorers you’re interested in, then revisit and compare them quickly in Favorites.

Q: Where should I communicate with a potential travel buddy?

A: Use in-app messaging first to keep a record and avoid sharing private contact details too early. If you plan to meet, follow the Safety Guide.

Safety & Privacy

Q: How do I know if someone is trustworthy?

A: Check profile completeness and whether they communicate clearly. For a first meetup, choose a public place and avoid sending money in advance.

Q: What should I do if I notice suspicious behavior?

A: Stop interacting, keep screenshots and trip details, and report it via Contact Us. We’ll help review the case.
