A dating and social app that runs inside Telegram: create a profile, find people and chat, with every feature free according to its website. Interface in English and Russian.
LinkUp People presents itself as a full dating and social app that simply happens to live inside Telegram. You fill in a profile, look for people, and talk to them in the same messenger, without downloading anything from an app store or creating a separate account.
Its main promise is price. The project's website, linkup-people.com, which links to the bot, says that every feature is available completely free and stresses data protection. That is unusual in a category where most bots keep likes, visibility or extra searches behind a payment, and it makes LinkUp an easy bot to try without worrying about a paywall.
The website and the bot work in English and Russian. There is no public monthly-user figure on its Telegram page, which usually means the audience is still below the level where Telegram starts showing it, so expect fewer profiles than in the largest dating bots.
Free does not mean risk-free: never send money to a match, keep personal documents to yourself, and be wary of anyone trying to move the conversation elsewhere too quickly.
