Step 1
Create an account
Sign up with an email address and confirm it. You must be 18 or older.
Step 2
Build your profile
Add photos, a short bio, and a couple of lines about yourself. This is what people decide on, so it is worth five minutes.
Step 3
Add your college and interests
Your college and the things you are into — Garba, music, food outings, gaming — are what Discover ranks by.
Step 4
Set your preferences
Who you would like to meet, an age range, and how far you are willing to travel.
Step 5
Share your location, or just pick your city
Allow location access and we use it to find people around you, refreshing it only while you are using Buzzup. Prefer not to? Pick your city instead — we never turn a place name into a position. Others only ever see a rounded distance and a place name.
Step 6
Discover people
Swipe or tap to like and pass. Discover ranks by shared interests and distance — never by who paid, because nobody can.
Step 7
Match when it is mutual
Two yeses create a match. Only then does a conversation open. You can also leave a comment on a profile, which counts as a like.
Step 8
Chat, make plans, or move on
Messages arrive in real time. Unmatch or block whenever you like — blocking is immediate and works both ways.
What other people never see
- Your exact latitude and longitude.
- Your home address, or where you are right now.
- Your location history — we keep only your most recent position, and nothing is recorded while the app is closed.
- Your email address or date of birth.
- Your verification photo.
More detail on all of it is in the Privacy Policy.
