Common questions about using HERAM. Can't find what you need? Get in touch.

Getting started

How do I sign up?

Download HERAM, enter your phone number, and verify with the SMS code we send. Then add your name, photo, and a few interests. Takes about 2 minutes.

Do I have to use my real name and photo?

Yes — HERAM is a real-world meet-people app. Profiles must use your real first name (last name optional) and a clear photo of your face. Fake profiles get removed.

How old do I have to be?

HERAM is for users aged 18 and over.

Is HERAM free?

Yes — free to download, free to use, free to host free events. We charge a small platform fee on top of standard payment processing for ticketed events.

Events

How do I RSVP to an event?

Tap the event card → tap Going. If the event has tickets, you'll be prompted to pay first. You'll see safety reminders the first time.

Can I cancel my RSVP?

Yes — open the event and tap Can't make it. For ticketed events, refund policies are set by the host.

How do I host my own event?

Tap the + Host button on the Events screen. Fill in title, date, location, max attendees, cover photo, and (optionally) a ticket price. Tap Publish.

Who can see my events?

Public events show on Discover for anyone in your chosen radius. Private events are invite-only.

People & friends

How does Discover work?

Discover shows people near you who are also on HERAM. You can filter by distance and, if dating is on, by interests, lifestyle, and more.

How do I message someone?

Send a friend request first. Once they accept, you can DM. HERAM doesn't allow random messages from strangers.

How do I unfriend someone?

Open their profile → tap the friend chip → choose Unfriend.

How do I block someone?

Open their profile → scroll to the bottom → tap Block. Blocked users can't see or message you.

Dating mode

Is HERAM a dating app?

HERAM is friends-and-events first. Dating is a separate mode you turn on in your profile. With it off, HERAM is purely social.

How do I turn on dating mode?

Go to Edit Profile → scroll to Open to dating → flick the toggle on. You'll get extra profile fields and the Dating tab on Discover.

Can I turn it off later?

Yes, any time. Toggle off and you disappear from dating mode immediately.

Safety

How do I share my plans with a friend?

On the event detail page, tap Share my plans with a friend. HERAM opens your phone's share menu with the event details and a check-in reminder pre-filled.

How do I report a user or event?

Open the profile or event → tap Report → choose a reason. Reports go to our safety team.

What does HERAM do with reports?

We review every report. Confirmed violations result in warnings, removal of content, or permanent bans depending on severity. We cooperate with law enforcement when required.

Account & privacy

How do I delete my account?

Account → tap Delete account, or follow the steps on the delete-account page. Your data is removed within 7 days.

What data does HERAM collect?

See our Privacy Policy for the full list. Summary: phone, profile info, photos, location (if you allow), messages, and event participation.

Can I change my phone number?

Not currently. You'd need to delete and re-create your account. We're working on number change.
