How Ziva works
Three steps to your next night out.
No solo swiping. No awkward 1-on-1 first meets. Just your crew mixing with another crew — and seeing where it goes.
Step 02
Mix with other crews
Like together. When both crews are a yes, you've mixed — a mixed group chat opens.
Step 03
Hang out for real
Sort the plan in your mixed-group chat. Drinks, dinner, festival, gallery hop — your call.
Match the vibe
Find groups who get it.
Pick the vibes your group is up for. We'll find other crews who are too. No more "what should we do?" — Ziva already knows.

Why we built Ziva
A generation got the most connected technology in history. And then started seeing each other less.
- −45%
- Face-to-face time has fallen this much for teenagers since 2003.
- 9%
- Of UK 16–24 year olds feel lonely often or always — more than any other age group.
- 158 hrs
- Less per year that 15–25 year olds spend in-person with friends than 20 years ago.
Face-to-face time with friends has fallen 45% for teenagers since 2003. UK 16–24 year olds report the highest loneliness of any age group. The U.S. Surgeon General called it an epidemic. And in 2023–2024, while everyone else recovered post-pandemic, young people's in-person time kept falling.
We don't think the answer is another app to scroll. We think it's an app that gets your crew off the app — together with another crew, on a Saturday night, somewhere real.

Why Ziva
Apps got you stuck? We get you out.
Solo apps got lonelier. Ziva flips it: bring your friends, find theirs, make plans that actually happen.
Group-first, by design
Solo apps put all the pressure on one chat. Ziva spreads the energy — your crew vibes with their crew, and conversation flows.
Built to actually meet up
We're for people who want to meet, not message for weeks. Mix, sort the plan in group chat, get out the door.
Safer together
You're never meeting strangers alone. Your friends are there, theirs are too — that's how dating used to work.
Made in the UK, for the UK
Built by people who go out here. We get the pub, the festival, the rooftop, the last train home. Ziva fits.
No pressure. Just fun.
Part date, part hangout, part whatever-this-is.
Post-pandemic, dating apps started pushing hard for serious. People are tired of the pressure to define everything by date one.
Ziva is the opposite. Bring the crew. Mix with another crew. Banter, plans, a Saturday night out — it might end up a relationship, a friend-of-friend group chat, or just a really good story. We're not telling you which. Whatever it becomes, it starts with having fun.

Field guide · Beyond date night
Mostly dating. Sometimes more.
Group dating is the bit we're fixing first — but the format isn't picky. Two crews, a chat, a plan, a meet. Same app, same simple promise: your crew, plus another crew, doing something real.
- Weekend plans
A Saturday night, sorted.
Bring the crew. Mix with another crew. Sort the night in chat — the pub, the bar, who's getting the next round. Most of Ziva looks like this.
- New in town
New city, no crew yet.
Moved for work, for school, for a person. Make a group with whoever you're with — even if that's just you and a mate from the old life — and link up with local crews who'll show you the spots. You'll have regulars by month two.
- Travel
Show me your city.
Travelling somewhere new. Make a group with whoever you're with — even just one mate — and meet locals who actually know the spot. The good one. Not the TripAdvisor one.
And anything else two crews might want to do together. Football fans following their team to an away tie. Festival camps hunting for camps with the same line-up. Hen weekends, gig nights, gallery hops, hiking, the lot. Same mechanic, every time — your crew, plus another crew, doing something real.
Safer by default
Your friends are already there. So are theirs.
Ziva is built for groups, which means safety by design — not as an afterthought. No strangers in DMs. No late-night solo dilemmas. Just your crew, theirs, and a plan.

How big does my group need to be?
Up to 5 people total — you plus up to 4 mates. Groups of 3–4 tend to feel best: big enough to feel like a crew, small enough to actually meet up.
Is Ziva for dating or for friendship?
Both, honestly. People use Ziva for nights out, dates, friend-of-friend meetups, festivals, and just expanding their circle. You set the vibe — Ziva matches the energy.
Do all my friends need to download Ziva?
Yes — every member of your group needs to be on Ziva so everyone can swipe, chat, and decide together. We make inviting them quick.
Where is Ziva available?
Ziva is currently available in the UK on iOS and Android. We're rolling out to new cities — sign up to find out when we land in yours.
Is Ziva free?
Yes. The core experience — making a group, matching, chatting, planning — is free. We offer optional upgrades for things like Super DMs and boosts.
How does mixing actually work?
Your group sees other crews nearby. Anyone in your group can Like a crew; when both crews are mutually a yes, you've mixed — a mixed group chat opens for everyone in both crews. You can also send a Super DM to message a crew before they've Liked you back.
