Anyone else having an issue with the messages not showing up even though it says I have messages?


Yup, we've complained about this issue for at least a few months now. Mine is currently sitting at "36 messages" when there are NO new messages there. Never heard anything back from Phrendly with an update on fixing it.

I swear I saw a message flash at one point but then never again. It's hard to believe they aren't actually messages with the amount of stars I'm getting that line up with the same time as the message notification.

So we're all having issues with messages notifications? I'm not getting notifications of messages, but if I go into the app and manually check it then my new messages will appear. The only relief I get is to keep the Phrendly site open in Chrome so I can hear the ding when I get a message.

Okay folks big change on my end! Phrendly got ahold of me and my messages were resolved shortly after. I started promoting with the money the site gave me for signing up and I made 70 dollars in 1 day. Holy cow that was not expected. My question is what do I do for taxes on this? When do I have to claim it and what information will I need?

You need to claim all money you make, there's no lower limit. If you hit the reporting limit (from the company's perspective), you will get a 1099 from Phrendly. If you don't, you'll need to know how much you earned and put the amount on your filing.

Do I need to have physical proof of my income or can I just tell them an amount when I file?

Depends how you file, depends where you live and depends what happens after you file. The IRS knows that not all income causes a slip of some sort to be issued. If they ask for proof or documentation, you can provide a printout or screenshot of your Phrendly payouts. Or if you get paid by check, you can use the stubs. Or maybe your bank statements.

Are you new to self-employed income or filing taxes? If so, there's probably a fair bit for you to look into.

I am new to filing as self-emolyed. I've done some adult work online over the years but never stuck to it so I never messed with claiming because I wasn't really making much if any. I've been sticking to working on phrendly and am making fast money so I wanted a jump start on planning to file for taxes. I know I've seen to set aside 20% of my income. I definitely have alot to learn. Is it possible to file online as self employed or am I gonna need a tax expert. I live in a small town and my normal tax lady is my ex boyfriends mom down at the h&r building 😅 don't wanna mess with that. I'm married and my husband makes most of our income. I work with his cousin as a state provider but i hate it and I barely make 300 a month if im lucky.

Anyone else getting messages but when you respond, get the "carrier pigeons" message. This happened to me twice in a row now. I seem to recall that that message means that the guy blocked us. Both times I responded within a half hour to an hour later(once I was logged in to my computer since phone app doesn't send me alerts anymore), only to see the carrier pigeon crap. Are these guys seriously creating accounts, messaging, and blocking models if they don't get an instant response? I mean, damn..most of us have lives and can't be at our computers 24/7.

I'm fairly new on phrendly. Made about 150 bucks in 3 days which isn't a ton but it's gonna help for my car payment lol I was wondering if you experience less interaction on fri-sun? When i was camming those were my best days but it seems like the only ppl popping up are guys who wanna go off site

Were those three days your first three days on the site? If so, the slow down is likely due to you being less new and not to the fact that it's the weekend. Or has your ranking gone down since those days when you made $150?

Phrendly has never been an amazing site for me, but it's consistently slow. I usually go weeks or even months between messages.

Fridays and Saturdays used to be my best days on Phrendly (I'm thinking because many people get paid on Fridays), but nowadays, I don't really have one particular day of the week that's better than any other. I only make a little bit of money on there, and most of it is from regulars who either chat a lot but don't send gifts or pay for video chat, or regulars who only pop up once in a blue moon to video chat and that's it. 95% of the new guys I get say "where are you from?" or something like it in their very first message and disappear once they figure out that meeting up in person isn't going to happen. SMH. There are a million other sites for that shit-I don't understand why these guys don't just stick to other sites instead.

If you read back from the beginning of this thread, I remember a woman (I think her username had Jupiter in it) who ended up not getting paid when she made a second Phrendly account. I can't remember all the details, but I think Phrendly did not approve of closing one account and opening another.

Phrendly has never been an amazing site for me, but it's consistently slow. I usually go weeks or even months between messages.

Those were my first few days but my ranking has always been between 10-40 and I get alot of qualified clicks and a good amount of messages but its like they say hello and then disappear. What's the point in even saying hi at that point. I had to lower my promotion amount because I was about to be losing money faster than gaining it. I'm still on the first 3 pages paying 75 cents so thats helpful I guess. I know i saw earlier in the thread that most of the guys on there are just looking to go off site but I didn't have that experience until this weekend. I'm gonna have to stop promoting entirely if it doesn't pick up tomorrow. I think I have a scheduled video chat tomorrow night so hopefully he holds out. Sent me a rose as a good gesture. I really need to do the work and sign up for some other texting/pso sites. They just need so many validation pictures lol

Ok NEW bug & I'm pissed, especially b/c they are making it seem like it's not a bug.

Whenever you click on new, you get all the guys who just signed up & were approved & I star them & then stoo when I get to the ones who were already starred.

Well NOW in the last few days there's no slew of new guys. I'm finding ones that aren't starred, but they are sprinkled in with the starred ones so clearly you don't know where they are or what page to stop at.

This is pissing me off & he's saying it's b/c they came online after being offline, that's why that's happening.

BS, I've never had this happen before.

Is it happening for you?

No, because I don't get any kind of calls on Phrendly anymore. Once in a blue moon I'll get a text. It doesn't matter how many times I put a check mark in the boxes for "Phone" and "Video." It constantly goes right back to UNchecking them. "Chat" is the only one where the check mark stays put.

Even though this thread hasn't been getting replies lately, I'm gonna try asking this question again here...

If a guy on Phrendly wants to "see you twerk," do you usually just do it via video chat (I feel like he's just gonna stay for a minute and then end it)...or do you ask them to send you a virtual gift first (And if so, which virtual gift $$$ amount do you require?)...and then accept his video chat request? There's a guy on there who keeps asking me about it and asking "Are you up?" And I keep missing his messages because the Phrendly app doesn't exactly notify you (Not the way the Facebook app does, for example) that you have a new message. You have to keep going into the app to check to see if you have messages.

I'd only do it thru their video chat option on the site & no I don't ask for gifts before cam unless they want pics only. As far as making it worthwhile I usually just bullshit for a few mins before starting the show LOL that way I've made it worth my time. You do you though :) Hope this helps.

Haha. I think this cheap bastard just blocked me. I KNEW he was gonna end up being a cheap bastard. Talking about he wanted me to twerk butt ass naked for him on cam, and that he needs me to already be ready naked when it starts. Lol. NOPE.

I also recall reading their tos a while back n they discourage asking for gifts especially right out the gate.

Phrendly actually has an option to "report" someone for being "just a jerk." Haha. That's cool, and I selected that option. I am not worried about one cheapass fuckboy on this app. This app isn't much of a money-maker anyway, and there are too many other guys on there to be worried about one rude dude. :) Good riddance.

I just saw this too! What does that even mean? We're not going to make as much for phone/video calls anymore? I don't get why it says "we suggest lowering your "minutes per drink" rate in order to continue earning the same amount per minute." How would lowering my rates help?

Yes, it means that they will be using the same system as they already do on NiteFlirt. They will charge us a 20 cent per minute fee in addition to the percentage they take.

It's confusing because of the way you set prices on Phrendly. But it's not "drinks per minutes" but "minutes per drink". So, if you currently are willing to talk on the phone for 10 minutes in exchange for one drink (10 minutes per drink) and you lower it to 9 minutes per drink, you will be earning more.

So after they rejected the sexy snapshots I'd taken recently to make a new GIF set (Which pissed me off after all that time I spent doing that), they're not even letting me just keep my profile the way it was before with the other pics/GIF set. Now it's saying my profile is incomplete, and I am unapproved...and I have to "head back to the GIF booth," and update my greeting. *Sigh* I wonder if me having my Twitter and OnlyFans username (I didn't actually spell out the word "OnlyFans"...I abbreviated it as "OF") in my About Me section had anything to do with this. Lol.

Anyway, I don't really make money on Phrendly anyway, so I'll do all that stuff some other time when I actually feel motivated enough to fool with it.

Yes, that's definitely why. They don't want you to advertise your business on other sites, and since they market themselves as an entertainment app instead of an adult-oriented app, you have to keep your photos and bio PG-13.

Okay, gotcha. Weird that it took them so long to notice (Maybe someone told on me), and I'm glad I got at least one OF subscriber out of it, at least. And if that's the case, then they should also stop letting the men on there have stuff on their profiles trying to chat/hook up with women off-site. Gonna penalize the ladies...penalize the men too, you know. And it's weird to me for an app to be considered "the new GFE option," yet we're supposed to act like it's not adult. Haha.

They're prompting me to take a whole new batch of pics (Or GIFs, I guess I should say) for my profile, so my profile isn't even showing as active anymore. It's incomplete right now without photos. If I ever have any motivation in putting on my wig and taking a bunch of GIF photos for this app again, I could be active on there again, even though I wasn't really making money on here anyway.
