  1. 01 / Profiles

    Meet Layan.

    Verified, a real job, the languages you share. A profile that reads like a person.

  2. 02 / Prompts and hot takes

    She has opinions.

    Prompts, hot takes and the place she’d take you first. Plenty to answer before you even get to the photos.

  3. 03 / Likes

    Sami likes what she said.

    Every like can carry a line, so the first message is already half written.

  4. 04 / Matchmakers

    Her sister has a pick.

    Rana looks out for Layan and sends her picks. Layan still decides.

  5. 05 / Match

    It’s mutual.

    Layan likes him back. Mabrouk, now they can talk.

  6. 06 / Chat

    Then the good part.

    Voice notes, songs, photos. Calls only when you both turn them on.

03 / Everyone

Wherever home was.

The Levant, Egypt, Iraq, the Gulf, the Maghreb, Yemen, Sudan. And wherever you live now.

04 / Everything else

Small things that make it feel right.

    Three takes on your card. Disagree with one and you have to say why.

    Fairuz next to Drake. It says a lot.

    A note only your matches see.

  • “Only person I trust to pick the restaurant.”
    Dina, his friend since school

    Vouches

    Family and friends write a few lines. You approve them first. Up to three show.

  • Calls you choose to join

    Both of you flip a switch, then voice or video. Nothing rings. Their video stays covered until you tap.

  • Chats that keep moving

    With a handful of people waiting on your reply, new likes pause until you answer. Less ghosting, for everyone.

  • Your number stays yours

    Share your number or Instagram when you’re ready. Nothing shows until they accept.

05 / Safety

Every photo is reviewed before anyone sees it. A real person reads every report. And the people you know never have to see you here.

How we keep HeyArab safe

You decide who sees you.

Our community is small and everyone knows someone.

  1. 01 / 08

    Block people you know

    Pick them from your phone, or hide from all your contacts at once. We keep a scrambled code, never the number.

  2. 02 / 08

    Your city, not your street

    We save your city, never your exact spot. Distances are rounded.

  3. 03 / 08

    Hidden words

    Pick words you don’t want to see. Likes that use them go to a separate pile, quietly.

  4. 04 / 08

    Blocking is quiet

    Block or unmatch and they’re never told.

  5. 05 / 08

    No numbers on profiles

    You share yours in chat, and only once they accept.

  6. 06 / 08

    No screenshots

    Blocked on profiles, where the phone allows it.

  7. 07 / 08

    Take a break

    Pause and you leave Discover. Your conversations stay open.

  8. 08 / 08

    Incognito

    With Club, only people you’ve liked can see you.

06 / HeyArab Club

Free to use. Club if you want more.

Profiles, matching and chat are free, with a daily like limit. Club is an optional membership.

Everything Club adds

  • No daily like limit
  • See who likes you, and what they said
  • Incognito, so only people you’ve liked can see you
07 / Questions

Before you ask.

All questions

Is HeyArab only for Muslims?

No. It’s for Arabs of any faith, or none. Religion is optional on your profile.

Is it a marriage app?

It’s a dating app. You say what you’re looking for, from friends first to marriage, and how soon.

Will people I know see me on here?

Only if you let them. Block contacts from your phone and you won’t see each other. With Club, Incognito shows you only to people you’ve liked.

Can my matchmaker see my chats?

No. They see a deck of new people and send you picks. Never your likes, your matches, your photos or your messages.

Where can I use it?

In the US and Canada first, on iPhone and Android, in English, Arabic and French.
