New Feature Parchi: a verified woman writes one line to tonight's Drop before she looks, the men write back in their own words, and she unfolds the replies one at a time. Plus a fix for a rare crash while the Drop loaded.

Leaving and cancelling Plus now ask why and answer it, offering a second city, a better plan, a pause or a quick fix, and "Something didn't work" goes straight to you as a support ticket.

Your city, picked for you. At sign-up Bhava finds the nearest of its 99 cities from your location or the town you type, shows it on a card with how far you are, and lets you change it. Others see your city and the distance, never your town. Also: the Edit profile city row, and "Change city" from a notice when we place you.

A fresh look for your profile PDF, share photo and match card, made for the family WhatsApp. New: Ask family about anyone you've liked or matched, right inside Bhava. Waiting for your city to open? See how many have joined and invite friends and family. Plus small fixes and polish.

Parents now link to their son or daughter right at sign-up: enter their code, or invite them with a link. A short checklist shows what's left to finish your profile, so you appear in Drops. Parents can report or block anyone they're shown. Deleting your account now takes one step. Bhava may ask you for a quick selfie to verify your photo. Fixes and improvements.

Urgent Listing Bug Fix

Thank you for reviewing Bhava 2.0.1. BEFORE YOU REJECT, PLEASE CALL Bhava is structurally different from a dating app: no swipe feed, and two account types in one app (Member and Family curator). Our earlier 4.3(b) review ended in a productive phone walkthrough. If anything here may warrant a rejection, please call me first (number below). I can walk you through both flows in five minutes. ABOUT BHAVA A family-aware matrimonial app, not a dating or horoscope app. After sign-in, the first screen asks: "I'm looking for a partner to marry" (Member) or "I'm helping a child or sibling find a partner" (Family curator). WHAT'S NEW IN 2.0.1 - The Drop: a small set of introductions arrives once each evening at 7 pm, each with its Ashtakoota score out of 36. There is no endless feed; when the Drop is done, the app shows a countdown to the next one. - New bottom bar: Likes, the Drop (centre) and Chats. - Parents can invite friends and family with a personal code; new members can enter it under "Got an invite?". Sharing anything about the parent's child requires the new member's explicit consent. - Optional Face ID lock (Settings > Privacy). Off by default. - The app runs on iPad in iPhone compatibility mode. There is no iPad block screen. No new tracking. No IDFA. Face ID is used only for the optional app lock (NSFaceIDUsageDescription). Apple Search Ads attribution uses AdServices, with no ATT prompt. HOW TO SIGN IN Real users sign in with Apple or Google.

Bhava 1.0.3 — Founder Concierge • The first 100 Members of Bhava now join the Founder Concierge cohort. Every Sunday morning for 12 weeks, I'll personally hand-curate one introduction for you based on Ashtakoota fit, family rhythm, and the specifics of what you're looking for. • A permanent "Founder Cohort 1" badge stays on your profile after graduation. You were here at the start. • Premium expanded — first messaging now Premium-only (Cohort 1 Members keep a free pass to message their Sunday introduction), up to 5 family curator slots, and three new filters to refine your search: Gotra, Education, and Income range. • A new Sunday introduction screen — full-bleed candidate photo, the founder's note in italic serif, and a single CTA to send your first message. — Himanshu Founder, Bhava

What's New in 1.0.2 • International phone signup — pick your country from the flag picker, no more US-only +1 prefix. 200+ countries supported. • Phone verification step in onboarding for stronger profile trust. Optional — you can skip and add it later from your profile. • Update your phone number anytime from Profile → Phone. • Stricter photo verification — only real photos of you are accepted. Cartoons, pets, group shots, and illustrations are rejected upfront with a clear reason so you know exactly what to fix. • Faster sign-up flow and clearer error messages throughout. — Bhava team

A small polish + reliability update. • Smoother date-of-birth picker during onboarding — no more popping the age screen mid-scroll. • The subscription screen now offers a retry button if plans fail to load. • Better diagnostics behind the scenes when a profile photo upload doesn't go through. • Family-suggested matches stay clean if you've blocked someone in your network. • Minor under-the-hood reliability improvements. Thank you for being part of Bhava.
