Questions people ask first.
Is Zambian Dates really free?
Yes. You can create a profile, discover people, match and talk without ads, subscriptions or a paywall. There is one experience and it is free to use.
Who can join Zambian Dates?
Anyone aged 18 or over who is looking to meet people in Zambia or within the Zambian diaspora. You must be at least 18 years old to use the service.
Can I use Zambian Dates on iPhone?
Yes. Zambian Dates runs in your iPhone browser and can be installed to your home screen — our iPhone guide walks through it step by step. There is no App Store app yet, so do not look for one.
How does selfie verification work?
You can choose to verify your profile with a selfie check from inside the app. A verification badge tells you that check was completed. It is a trust signal rather than a guarantee, and not every profile is verified. However, the moderation team might choose to enforce verification upon suspicious profiles.
How is my location used?
Distance is calculated on our servers and shown as a distance, never as a pin, an address or a public map. A numeric distance is only shown when both people have usable GPS locations, and the home city you choose is kept separately from your current discovery location. You can enable, refresh or turn off GPS in the app.
Can Zambians living abroad join?
Yes. Zambian Dates is built for people in Zambia and for Zambians in the UK, South Africa, Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and elsewhere.
How do I report or block someone?
You can block an account to stop further contact, and report it so the moderation team can review what happened. Accounts you have blocked can be reviewed and managed in the app settings.
Can I take a break without deleting my account?
Yes. Pausing hides your profile and stops you browsing new profiles, and you can resume whenever you want. Your account and matches are still there when you come back.
How do I delete my account?
You can delete your account from inside the app. Deletion is scheduled rather than instant: while it is scheduled your account is hidden, and you can cancel it from the Account section before the displayed deadline. If you do not cancel, an automated process completes the deletion.
Your next connection could be closer than you think.
Join Zambian Dates and start meeting people who share more than a location.
