How it works

Four steps to your first match

01

Sign up with your phone

A quick one-time code. No passwords to remember, no email spam.

02

Build your profile

Your photos, your city, the languages you speak, and what you are looking for.

03

Verify with a selfie

A live selfie check confirms you are real, so everyone you meet is too.

04

Match and chat

Discover people nearby, match when it is mutual, then start talking.

Verified, every time

Real people, not profiles to swipe past

A live selfie confirms every member before they can match or message. The face you see is the face you meet. No bots, no catfish, no time wasted.

Expat filters, free

Find people who get the move

Filter by city, how long they have lived there, and how long they are staying. The context the big apps charge for, or do not offer at all, comes built in.

Meet people you can actually see

Discovery is sorted by who is genuinely nearby in your new city, so you match with people you can realistically meet. Your exact location is never shown to anyone.

Why we built Datexpats

Starting over is exciting. Meeting people who get it is hard.

When you move abroad, the dating apps you knew back home feel empty. Fake profiles, people half a country away, no sense of who actually understands the leap you just made. Datexpats is the opposite: a verified, local, expat-aware place to meet someone who already speaks the language of starting fresh in a new city.

Questions

Frequently asked

Who is Datexpats for?

Expats and the locals who want to meet them: people who know what it is like to start over in a new city, and the people who live there already. Adults 18 and over.

How does verification work?

Before you can match or message, you take a quick live selfie. We check it against your profile photos so everyone on Datexpats is a confirmed, real person.

Is my exact location shared?

No. Discovery is sorted by who is nearby, but your precise location and your phone number are never shown to other users.

How much does it cost?

Datexpats is free to join. Optional premium features and add-ons are available as subscriptions and in-app purchases.

How do I get early access?

The iOS beta is open now on TestFlight. Tap any "Get early access" button to install it and start meeting people. Android is coming soon.

Where is Datexpats available?

We are launching first in Belgrade and rolling out city by city. Get on the iOS beta today and you will be ready the moment it opens where you are.

How do I report someone?

Report or block anyone in a single tap from their profile or your chat. A human moderation team reviews every report and removes bad actors.
