For the things you'd actually say

Answer one question. Meet the stranger who answered it too.

Yap shows you a single prompt. Your answer stays sealed until someone else answers the same one — then you both see both, and you can talk. No profiles to scroll. No feed. Just what two people actually said.

How it works

  1. 01

    You answer, blind.

    Pick a mood, get its one question, and write what you actually think. Nobody sees it — not even people who answered first.

  2. 02

    Somewhere, someone answers the same question.

    Neither of you can see the other's answer. Not yet.

  3. 03

    Then you both see both.

    You're matched the moment they answer, and you can talk. A conversation closes on its own a day after it starts, unless you both choose to keep it.

Eight lanes, one question each

You choose the lane. The question comes after — everyone in a lane gets the same one, which is what makes a match happen fast. A few more lanes open only for a while, like New Year.

  • Hot Take

    Pick a side. Someone else picked the other one.

  • Backbench

    Classes, canteens and group projects. Then or now.

  • 9 to 5

    Meetings, managers and the commute home.

  • Hearts

    Crushes, exes, best friends and everyone in between.

  • Real Talk

    Honest, not heavy.

  • Rant

    Petty is allowed here.

  • Sports

    Cricket, football, F1 and every hill fans die on.

  • Late Night

    Open while you're up. Different kind of question.

    Open 11pm–5am, your time

Built to be calm, on purpose

Words before faces

Strangers never see your name or picture. Those appear only for friends — someone you both chose to keep talking to.

No feed, no scroll

One question per lane, live at a time. There's nothing to scroll through and nothing to fall into.

Chats end on their own

A conversation closes a day after it starts. Nobody has to leave, and nobody is told who left them.

No read receipts

No 'seen', no 'online', no last-active. Silence isn't something done to you here.

Friends, if you both want it

If you both tap 'Keep it open', the conversation stays — and only then do names and pictures appear.

No streaks, no scores

No counts of people talked to, no badges for coming back. You come back when you want to.

Safety, built in

Talking to strangers should feel safe to start and easy to stop.

Read the safety guide

  • Leave, block, report

    Any conversation, any time. Blocking means you're never matched again. A person reads every reported conversation.

  • Verified by a person

    A Verified badge means someone checked a selfie against the profile picture by eye. The selfie is deleted after.

  • Filtered before it's sent

    Answers and messages are screened for contact details and abuse before anyone sees them.

  • 18+ only

    Everywhere, with no exceptions.

Questions

Is this a dating app?

No. You're matched on an answer to the same question, not on looks or a profile. Plenty of conversations are just a good conversation.

Who can see my name and picture?

Only friends — people you share a conversation with where you both tapped 'Keep it open'. Everyone else sees whether you're verified, and nothing more.

How long does a conversation last?

It closes on its own a day after it starts. If you both choose to keep it, it stays open with no deadline.

What does 'Verified' mean?

That a person compared a selfie taken in the app with the profile picture and saw the same person. It isn't an ID check, and it doesn't say anything about age.

Is it free?

Yes. There are no ads, and your data isn't sold.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not yet — Yap is on Android for now.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: You → Delete account. Without the app, see the Delete your account page linked below.

Somebody out there is answering the same question.
