Questions, answered.

A calmer way to meet people in person. When someone is in the room with you, you can quietly tap a heart for them. Nothing happens unless they tap yours too — then both hearts turn green and you can say hello.

No. Your interest stays private and shows as yellow on your side only. Their heart for you stays plain white. They are only ever told when the interest is mutual, so there is no rejection.

No swiping and no swipe deck. There is no chat at all either — the whole point is to meet in person, because you are already in the same room.

Both phones turn green at the same moment, and Yabodoo guides you together: Bluetooth and location power a proximity meter that warms up as you get closer. Nothing to arrange, no messages to write.

Bluetooth and location, together. You can discover ambiently — anyone nearby who is also discovering, in any bar or out walking — or join an event, where Yabodoo confirms you have arrived and shows you the room. Either way you only ever see people who are there right now.

A live selfie taken in the app so the people around you can actually recognise you. Only people discovering near you can see it, it never goes on the open internet, and it clears at the daily reset.

One tap on SOS gives you five seconds to cancel, then alerts your trusted contacts and shares your live location with them. Your local emergency number sits beside it. Every selfie passes a liveness check that runs on your own device, and you can report anyone at any time. Safety features are always free. See our safety and safety tips pages for more.
