What is Chappy Friends?

Chappy Friends is our new vertical entirely separate from Chappy Dates!

We know that lots of gay men have made friends through dating apps. Using a dating app when you’re just looking for friendship can send mixed signals. This is a new vertical that allows you to meet friends with no pressure, whether you’re new to a city, traveling, or looking for a gay mentor. We’ve got you!

Can I match with someone in Friends and Date?

Also no - Chappy Friends is designed to be a space for new connections without any of the pressure that may come from trying to find a friend in Dates! If you match a user in either Friends or Dates, once you match, that person goes to your chats. If you match in Friends, you won't see that person again if go over to Dates.

If I'm in Chappy Friends, is my profile also visible in Chappy Dates?

No - your profile is only visible in one mode at a time! If you're in Chappy Friends, you'll only be shown to other people also looking for friends.

How do I send a message?

Chappy works around mutual connections. Once two people have swiped right on each other, a mutual connection will appear in your messages section.

What does the star icon mean?

The little star that appears in the top right corner of your screen represents our 'Favorites' icon.
