Happn is a location-based online dating app that only matches you with people you have actually crossed paths with in real life. The app came out all the way back in February 2014 and has garnered over 70 million users since. 

The app takes a fresh and unique approach to online dating, which has been one of the leading causes of its popularity. Unlike sitting at your house and swiping on a card stack, you only ever get to talk to someone you have walked by and probably noticed, in real life.

However, if for whatever reason this idea doesn’t work out for you, you can always pause or hide your Happn account. If you just want to be done with the app though, you can even delete your Happn account using the guide below.
