It helps to include your username, your device and iOS version, and what you expected to happen instead.

The usual questions

How do I add a friend?

Friends tab → search their exact username, then send a request. Cooked has no public profiles and no discovery, so nobody can find you by browsing — you have to know the username, or use an invite link. That is deliberate.

Sign-in isn't working

Cooked supports Sign in with Apple and Google. If one fails, try the other — they create separate accounts, so use whichever you signed up with. If you are still stuck, email us with the address you used.

How do I report or block someone?

Report from the •••menu on any story, profile, or conversation. Block from the Friends tab, or from the same menu inside a conversation. Blocking is immediate and works both ways: you disappear from each other's feeds, stories, search, and messages.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: Profile → Settings → Delete account. It removes your profile, recipes, stories, photos, and messages. You can also request deletion from the web if you no longer have the app installed.

Why is my feed empty?

Cooked only shows what your friends cook. A new account has no feed until you add someone — there is no algorithm and nothing public to fill the gap.

A recipe link wouldn't import

Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X build their pages in the browser, so a link carries no recipe text we can read. Copy the caption instead and use Paste recipe text on the Add a recipe screen. For ordinary recipe sites, paste the link and we will read what the page publishes.

How old do you have to be?

13 or older. Accounts that declare an age under 13 are rejected when the profile is created.
