About Happn
First of all, let’s start with the basics. What is Happn?
Well, Happn is a dating app that uses location services to match you with people in your area. It is similar to WeChat and Tinder dating apps, but it shows you which users are close by, so it’s easier for you to meet up with them. The service was created in 2014 and had been rapidly growing ever since then. You can use this app if you want to find someone with whom you have crossed paths or looking for love.
It is a geolocation-based dating app that uses your location in order to match you with people nearby. But, it does not have to be only dating. You can also use it to make new friends or even improve your social life overall. Happn already has around 50 million users, and it is constantly growing. So, if you are looking for a platform to connect with people around you, this is a great option.
