Hily uses geodata from your phone to determine your location dynamically. You can see nearby matches by allowing the app access to your phone’s location. The Premium feature, Global Search, allows you to change and explore profiles worldwide by selecting different locations beyond your own, providing a customizable approach to location-based matchmaking.
Hily is a dating app designed to help people connect with potential romantic partners. It is an online dating platform where you can create profiles, upload pictures, and engage with others based on mutual interests and preferences. The app includes features such as swiping to indicate interest in someone, chatting, and potentially arranging dates.
How Does Hily Location Work?
Hily automatically detects your location to show you potential partners who are close by. As such, you shouldn’t have to fiddle with any settings while travelling, though you can tap Settings and scroll to Discovery to adjust Hily’s search radius if you are a premium user.
The app can track your location in many ways. For example, if you turn on Location Services in the Hily app, it can use GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi signals to determine where you are.
Furthermore, suppose you permit third-party apps and websites to access your Hily account data (e.g., Google Maps). In that case, they can pass this information back to Hily to get more accurate location data about where you’ve been spending time.
