It’s my first time using this app. How does it work?
Hapi currently offers 1-on-1 calls with a listener. These calls are within the Hapi app over the internet, and will not reveal your phone number to the listener for anonymity reasons.
Here’s how to request a listener in the Hapi app:
Here’s how to request a listener in the Hapi app:
1. Open your app and select a topic you want to talk about.
2. Write a few words or sentences to give the listener some context.
3. Click ‘Start a Call’. If it’s your first time using the app, you’ll need to grant permission to your phone’s microphone.
4. Next, we’ll look for a verified listener who will be the best match for the topic you requested. This could take from a few seconds to a few minutes (during peak hours or night time).
5. You may close the app while waiting or have the app open. When your listener has entered the chat room, we’ll send you a notification if the app is in the background. Come back to the app when you see the notification.
6. After the listener has accepted the request, you will see a quick view of their bio, ratings and reviews.
7. The connection will happen automatically when you click “ready to talk”.

We are glad to hear that! If you enjoyed talking to a listener, their name will appear on your homescreen next time you open the app. There are a few ways you can directly request a listener you spoke with previously:
