These answers explain how Yappa works, what users should expect before joining live video chat, and which safety habits help keep the platform useful.
Yes. Yappa is free to access. Optional coin purchases may be available for profile or chat cosmetics, but the core video chat experience is designed to be available without buying coins.
Solo mode connects one user with one other user for a direct live video conversation. It is the simplest mode for quick introductions.
Duo mode lets you join with a friend and match against another duo. It adds a social layer to random video chat and can make conversations feel more comfortable.
Some features work best with an account, including profile editing, friend tools, public profile pages, coin balances, and duo invites.
The live app uses your camera and microphone for video chat. You should grant access only when you are ready to participate in a conversation.
Yes. Yappa includes reporting tools for behavior such as harassment, nudity, spam, impersonation, scams, or other rule violations. Reports help moderators identify patterns and take action.
Yes. Users who violate the terms, create safety risks, abuse reporting, or misuse the platform may be suspended or removed.
Leave the conversation, do not share private details, and use the report tool if the other user broke the rules. You do not need to continue a chat that makes you uncomfortable.
Yappa does not allow harassment, threats, explicit behavior, illegal activity, impersonation, scams, or attempts to exploit the service. The Terms page explains acceptable use in more detail.
Public profiles can show a display name, profile image, description, join information, and activity stats. Friend tools let users reconnect after a good conversation, while profile reports help flag abusive accounts.
Coins may be used for optional shop items such as titles and chat banners. Payments are processed through a checkout flow, and card details are handled by the payment provider rather than stored directly in the Yappa interface.
For help with account access, reporting, payments, or profile issues, use the in-app tools when available and include enough detail for the team to understand the problem. Do not include passwords or sensitive payment information in support messages.
