Heyama is a free-to-join African dating app and community connecting people in Africa and across the diaspora. Available for iPhone and Android in English and French, the app helps members meet others who share their cultural roots, interests, values, and relationship intentions. Users can create a profile, like others, match, and chat for free; optional paid features include messaging before a match, Boost, Incognito mode, and some filters.

Heyama’s Ndolo search helps members find people based on origins, language, customs, and other shared cultural details. Its matching process recommends profiles based on members’ criteria, while intention filters support those seeking marriage, friendship, casual dating, or sex between consenting adults. The app also offers live speed-dating events with timed conversations and a blind mode. Safety features include automatic photo checks, verification badges, reporting tools, privacy options, and safety tips. Relationship coaches provide advice to support users as connections grow. Heyama reports more than one million downloads and is available through the App Store and Google Play.
