Arre wah! Mostly Arijit Singh aur thoda indie.

Most apps help you scroll past people. YapNow helps you actually talk to them.

We're building a place for duplex conversation — real, two-way talk between two people who chose what they care about. Tell us your language, where you are, what you do and what you love. We find someone who fits, and you're talking before the moment passes.

Chat and voice are free to start. Video is our premium experience. Each medium has its own matchmaking, tuned to how people talk there.

Three ways to connect

Pick how you want to talk.

Every tab on the home screen has one job: a Connect button that pairs you with someone new, using the preferences you set.

Freemium

Chat

Start light. Text with someone who shares your interests, at your own pace — perfect for breaking the ice across languages and time zones.

  • Free daily chat limit
  • Chat-specific matchmaking
  • Send gifts from your wallet
Freemium

Voice

Hear a real voice. Voice calls keep going in the background, so you can walk, cook or commute while you talk.

  • Free daily call limit
  • Voice-specific matchmaking
  • Background calling
Premium

Video

Face to face, anywhere in the world. Video is fully premium, with its own matchmaking designed for verified, high-quality conversations.

  • Premium subscription
  • Video-specific matchmaking
  • Priority connection quality

Matchmaking, your way

You choose who you meet.

Set your preferences once before you connect. Choose from a defined list of tags, up to a limit, so every match starts with something in common. Try it:

Location
Language
Profession
Passion 1 / 3

Gender preference

Your match request

3Paired & connected

Demo only — the app is still in development.

How it works

From sign-up to “hello” in four steps.

  1. 01

    Sign up & verify

    Create your account and verify with a quick face and voice check, so everyone you meet is real.

  2. 02

    Set your preferences

    Pick location, language, profession, passions and gender preference from ready-made tags.

  3. 03

    Tap Connect

    Choose Chat, Call or Video. Matchmaking searches everyone available who fits what you picked.

  4. 04

    Start talking

    You're paired instantly. If your connection drops, YapNow reconnects you automatically.

App preview

A first look at the app.

Early designs from the React Native app we're building now. Details will change as we test with real users.

Main abhi job ke liye Bengaluru shift hua hoon.
Arre wah! Kaisa lag raha hai naya shehar?
Try: “Wahan sabse zyada kya pasand aaya?”

An AI that keeps the conversation going

During calls, an optional AI assistant follows the conversation and suggests a next line when things go quiet — so talks with strangers feel natural, not awkward.

Built to stay connected

If your connection drops, YapNow tries to restore it for you and tells you why — slow internet or low bandwidth — instead of just hanging up. Calls keep running in the background.

Safety & trust

Real people. Your rules.

Face & voice verification

Every account is verified with a short video and voice check before its first match.

Clear consent

You approve our terms and choose which permissions to share — camera, mic, location, notifications.

Ratings & scores

Good conversations are rewarded, and bad behaviour is spotted quickly.

Support when you need it

An AI help assistant answers questions instantly and hands serious issues to our team.

Our promise

Built for the moment you tap Connect.

You shouldn't have to think about what happens behind the screen. Here's what we hold ourselves to, every single conversation.

Fast to match

Pick your filters, tap once, and start talking. No endless swiping, no waiting around.

Stays connected

Weak signal? We work to keep your call alive and bring it back when the network drops.

Private by design

Your details stay yours. You decide what to share, and you can change it anytime.

Always getting better

New features and fixes reach you quickly, often without needing an app update.

“Great conversations shouldn't depend on luck. Our job is to make every one of them feel effortless, safe and real.” — The YapNow team
