You crossed paths and they’re nearby, but a photo is all you know; upload it and we’ll see if that face appears elsewhere under another name.
1The doubt
Same café, same street, a face straight out of a campaign. Nearby doesn’t mean known.
A coincidence turns into a reason to rush.
“We’ve crossed paths 12 times, it has to mean something!”
The first meeting is always at their place: never a café, never somewhere busy.
2The check
Any clear photo from their profile will do; we compare it with public profiles on 20 platforms, closest first.
Use a photo from their profile or one they sent you, cropped to a single clear face.
Happn isn’t one of our sources, so we look for that face on 20 public platforms outside it.
Each possible match links to its public page with a similarity score. You compare; we never contact anyone.
3What turns up
Being on the same street says nothing about who someone is, and sometimes the photo belongs to someone else entirely.
Sample: Instagram, @lena.demo, 89% face match
4Before you meet
Meet somewhere busy, sort your own way there and back, and tell a friend where you’ll be.
Check only an adult who agreed. We hold no location data, and a result is never for finding where someone lives, works or spends time.
Your own face, an adult who clearly consented, or someone you are legally authorised to investigate.
No minors or images you have no right to use, and never to stalk, harass, profile, or decide on jobs or housing.
Every search is logged. Accounts that break these rules are closed without refunds.
No. Happn isn’t one of our sources: we never see profiles, crossed paths or chats inside it. You upload a photo, and we look for the same face on public pages across 20 platforms.
No. We have no location data; a result only shows public pages where a similar face appears, never an address, a route or places someone visits.
Photos straight out of a magazine, a match who never has time for a video call and a quick push to move the chat elsewhere are the usual signs. A photo check shows whether those pictures are also used under another name.
Because anyone can upload someone else’s photos, and being nearby doesn’t prove who they are. A quick check and a video call let you meet with more confidence.
One coin is one search. Coin packs start at $1.99, and coins never expire. Searching often? Pro unlocks every result for $4.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $19.99 a year, billed in US dollars.
Add the photo; a nearby match whose face lives under another name isn’t worth the walk.
