Happn uses your location to show you other users you've crossed paths with in real life. The app matches you with these users, allowing you to connect if both parties express interest.

The 'Crush' feature allows you to show interest in a user. If they also 'Crush' you back, a connection is established, and you can begin chatting. This adds a layer of mutual interests.

To message a user, wait until they have also liked you back. Once both users have 'Crushed' each other, you can start chatting through the app's messaging feature.

To hide your profile, go to your settings and find the privacy options. Here, you can select users you want to block or hide your profile from. This ensures you maintain control over your visibility on the platform.

To change your distance settings, access the app’s settings menu. Look for the 'Distance' section and slide the bar to your preferred radius. This will determine how far away users can be to appear in your matches, enhancing your experience.
