About this app

happn - the dating app that lets you meet people that destiny has put on your path.

With more than 140 million users across the globe, happn is the best way to meet people nearby, who are already in your area. We’re the only real-life dating app. You only see people you’ve crossed paths with in real life or that you have common interests with, so you know you’re already in each other’s lives and that's where the magic can happen. Have you ever wondered if the person you smiled at over at that cool cafe was interested in you? With happn, you’ll never have to wonder again!

Find your Crush in your favourite spots

The advantage of happn lies in its ability to foster meaningful connections with those who share your daily routine. By allowing to meet people based on geographic proximity and the places you usually go to, happn encourages to connect in familiar environments, thus promoting relaxed and authentic dates. No more stress of the first dates and encounters! There’s no better icebreaker than talking about your favorite spots: bars, clubs, restaurants, parks etc.

True and safe dating experiences

* Your exact location is never revealed
* You keep control of what is displayed on your online profile
* You don’t have to worry about rejection: the person will never know you like them unless they like you back and crush
* You decide who you talk with: only after a crush, can you send/receive a message
* You can tell when you’re ready to meet for dating through our special feature in the chat to avoid the pressure of asking
* You can always change your mind at any time: happn is consent-driven
* No pressure: friendship, chat or a real love story - you decide

How does it work

It’s simple. When you cross paths with another happn user, their profile will appear on your app. Did someone catch your eye? Like them secretly. We promise that the person will never know unless they like you back and it’s a crush! You can then start to chat, see if there’s a spark, and maybe arrange to start dating.

Dating with confidence and safety

- The happn dating app is based on the principle of reciprocity: you will never have a chat with someone you’re not interested in.
- Profile certification: participate in creating a safe and trusted environment by verifying your profile and encouraging others to do the same.
- At happn, confidentiality is our priority: your location is never visible to other members, only the places you crossed paths with them are shown and you can deactivate if you don’t feel comfortable with it.

Want access to more features?

The happn dating app is free to download and use. If you would like access to more features, you can switch to Premium by purchasing a subscription. With Premium, you get access to the list of people who have liked your profile and you can send SuperCrushes to your favorite profiles so you’re sure to stand out. So what are you waiting for?
Download happn now and start your journey to something real, you never know, you might even find your soulmate.

The UI is comfortable in both looking and using, but the fun is, there's empty profile recommended to me, but this is honestly and is a really worked one, very suit to my current situation. the absent always better than the worse. at beginning it recommend a pretty one but not meet my requirement. very chill one, I didn't feel any negative which other reviews said.

I really like this one. It works smoothly and intuitively and signup is quick and easy. Also not too pricey compared to some other ones that are equally as big. Sure there is ghosting and stuff like that but you will find that on any old dating app and it’s not their fault. Can recommend for whatever you are looking for. And since signup is free you have nothing to loose

I live in a really big city. If this app worked at all, I would be getting a constant flow of new ladies showing up all the time. I have gotten zero matches where I live. In San Francisco, I matched with some old lady. Had to decline. It's bizarre that you to force us into not being able to at least setting our age preferences. I'm 44. That lady was 78.
