About Happn

Happn is a French-born dating app with a unique concept: it shows you profiles of people you have physically crossed paths with during the day, using real-time GPS. If two users have been near each other, they appear in each other's timelines. Both users can 'like' each other — if it's mutual, they can chat. This makes Happn feel more organic than algorithmic swiping, as matches are people who actually exist in your daily world. Happn is especially popular in European cities including Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Berlin, with over 100 million downloads worldwide.

About Meetic

Meetic is the most widely used dating platform in continental Europe, with a particularly strong presence in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. It targets singles who are looking for a serious, lasting relationship and offers detailed profile creation, personality tests, and a rich search with filters for education, lifestyle, and values. Meetic regularly organises in-person speed-dating and singles events in major European cities. A Meetic subscription is required to send messages, but the free tier lets you browse and like profiles.
