About this app

happn - the dating app that lets you find 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 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 a date 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 meet up.

Crush 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.

Meet when you’re ready

Not sure when you should ask your Crush on a date? Afraid they might say no? Or are you sick of the pressure when someone asks you out too soon? No more stress. Now you can tell us when you’re ready to meet, directly in your chat with your Crush. We’ll let you know when they’re ready too.

Met someone very special to me on here! Should say that I used this app back in 2017 in NYC when I met that person. It was newish and gaining attention back then. NYC also has a huge population. Not so great for areas with lower population. The app has changed a lot since then, and I'm not so sure they've been able to attract more users. I'm in Los Angeles now and recently gave it a shot again. Seems very harder to find real people these days...

Happn has fewer settings than similar apps and notably lacks a filter for languages spoken, so you have no idea if you can communicate with a match, particularly if you don't speak the local language in your area. A distance setting is also missing. It's not good enough simply to look for local matches if someone might be willing to relocate within a country for the right match. E-mail verification fails with a server error, and support says it cannot be verified later. Not worth paying for.

Cool concept but the app is incredibly slow. I've tried it on two different smartphones. Browsing profiles to swipe, checking messages, checking anything... The app loads and loads. Then they gave the GUI, colors, and logo a complete overhaul and it's even slower! Also, it gives a lot of fake messages and notifications that are just the app telling you to upgrade. The company seems bent on aesthetics and pressuring users to upgrade rather than providing a good experience.
