Happn Review January 2023

There are two easy ways to create your account with Happn. You may link it to your Facebook account or register through your mobile number. With just a little information, you will be able to sign up.

These include your name, date of birth, and gender. Other data about your work, education and a description of yourself will also be asked but are not required. Before you can proceed, you will need to identify whether you want to cross paths with men, women or both.

After creating your account, you may already use your account's full functionality. Unlike other dating apps, Happn does not hold new accounts for verification and approval.

Happn shows your matches based on the proximity and preferences you have set. Unlike other apps, Happn does not have a search function. Instead, it shows your matches based on the identified criteria– proximity and preferences of the user.

For security purposes, you can only send likes to other members. You may not message them unless they also send you a 'like'. When both users 'liked' each other, they become 'crushes'.

To shorten the process, you can view other members who sent you a 'like'. In that case, you may get a "crush" and send a message instantly. This can be availed through a premium subscription.

'Hello' is another feature to connect with other members. Unlike the Like function, Hello is not a secret action. A member can send a Hello to anyone that appears on their timeline and let them know that they want to start a conversation. It also has a new video call feature that is free to use as long as you don't exceed using it for five minutes.

There is not much to see on a member's profile. Happn will only show a few information– your picture, name, age, gender, work and education, last active date, distance and a description of yourself. If you purchase a premium, you will be able to hide some of this information.

You may upload up to nine photos to your account directly or by syncing your photos from your Facebook or Instagram account.
Providing information and photos that reflect your personality and interests are helpful for other members to know you more, and probably, like you.

Unlike Tinder, which makes use of the swipe function, Happn does not require members to decide whether to like your match or not immediately. Other users have the chance to browse your profile first, so make sure you have a good one.

Although the app does not verify accounts, which ultimately leads to a higher risk of running into fake accounts, users are allowed to report or block suspicious accounts for their privacy and safety.
