Islands covered, genuinely Seychellois profiles, meeting the diaspora, Passport, premium packs: answers to the questions singles in Seychelles ask before creating their account.
Chat&Yamo brings together singles across the three main islands of the archipelago: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, with a strong presence in Victoria, Beau Vallon and Anse Royale.
Use the "City" filter to see the profiles closest to you, or widen your search to the whole country — and even to the other Indian Ocean islands with Passport.
Every account is linked to a phone number confirmed by WhatsApp code, which makes it harder to create fake profiles in bulk. All photos go through moderation before being published.
Every profile has a report button and a block feature, so you can act in a couple of seconds. A moderation team handles reports, and community rules set clear limits.
Yes, and it's one of Chat&Yamo's strengths. The Seychellois diaspora lives mainly in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and France. The Passport feature lets you set your virtual location to Victoria, Praslin or La Digue and browse local profiles as if you were already there.
Ideal for preparing a move back home, or for reaching out to someone who speaks Creole just like you. The Diaspora Elite pack adds Video Dating to keep the connection alive at a distance.
Yes. With the Passport feature, you can explore the other Indian Ocean islands from Mahé, Praslin or La Digue.
Connections between Seychellois, Mauritius, Réunionese and Malagasy people come naturally thanks to similar island cultures, Creole languages from the same family and a geographical closeness that makes visits realistic.
Absolutely. From the moment you sign up, you choose your main intention: serious relationship, marriage, new connections or friendship. The "Dating Intention" filter, included in Premium Plus, only shows you profiles whose goals match yours.
In a small community, clarity is worth its weight in gold: making it clear from the start what you're looking for saves you weeks of chatting only to discover the other person wants none of it.
Yes, for the most part. Signing up, creating a profile, liking profiles and getting matches are all free. You can meet new people, chat and set up a first coffee date in Victoria without pulling out your credit card.
Paid options are for people who want to move faster or go further: seeing who liked them, switching islands with Passport, making a video call or locking down their visibility. Three packs are available: Solo, Diaspora Elite and Premium Plus.
The small size of the community offers some protection: it's hard to invent an entire life when the other person knows your neighborhood. Scammers therefore mostly operate from a distance, and a few simple habits are enough to keep them at bay.
Five simple rules: never send money, suggest a video call early, stay in the app, meet in a busy public place, and never share personal documents.
Choose a setting that leaves plenty of room for conversation. On Mahé, a stroll through the Botanical Garden at Mont Fleuri, a drink at the Eden Island marina or a Creole lunch around Anse Royale all work well.
On Praslin, the Vallée de Mai or Anse Lazio make a memorable backdrop for a second date. On La Digue, a bike ride to Anse Source d'Argent helps everyone relax. In October, the Festival Kreol offers concerts, dance and Creole food.
Yes. Chat&Yamo is not reserved for people born on the islands: any adult living in the archipelago can create a profile. Teachers, doctors, engineers, hospitality managers and newly arrived work permit holders find it a simple way to step outside their professional circle.
Mention your nationality, the length of your contract and the languages you speak: these details reassure people and make friendly or romantic connections easier.
On mainstream apps like Tinder or Badoo, or in Facebook dating groups, local profiles mix with tourists and intentions are sometimes unclear.
Chat&Yamo is designed for Africa and its diaspora, which attracts singles who share similar cultural references. When choosing the best dating app for you in Seychelles, the test is simple: serious, compatible profiles close to where you live.
