Future is an AI matchmaker. Not a swiping app. Instead of endless profiles, Aria — your personal AI — gets to know you in a short conversation, then hand-picks the people who genuinely fit you. One at a time. No swiping, ever. Future+ and Future Stars are optional auto-renewing subscriptions (1 week or 1 month). Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings.
