About

How I Met

Features
Read full description

How I Met makes meeting people feel more human, more contextual, and less mechanical. Discover living profiles built around photos, moments, and details that actually make you want to reply. Instead of judging a profile in seconds, you explore a person through what they like, what they share, and what they are looking for. Choose your intention, dating or friendship, adjust your filters, browse profiles, and start a conversation from a specific moment. Messages keep the profile context so the exchange starts naturally. How I Met also includes Moments Call, a voice experience for exploring profiles, moving to the next one, or coming back to a detail without losing the thread. Main features: - visual profiles with moments and photos; - dating or friendship intentions; - simple filters for age, distance, and preferences; - conversations connected to profile context; - voice exploration with Moments Call. How I Met is designed for calmer, clearer, and more natural connections.
