FAQ
Short answers to the questions we hear most.
- What is Sezi?
- Sezi is a video dating app inside Telegram, Made in Kazakhstan. Instead of photo profiles and swiping, women set the questions and men answer them in short videos — and she decides on every approach. The name comes from the Kazakh sezu — to feel.
- When does it launch?
- It’s in development now. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you once — when Sezi opens in your city.
- How is it different from Tinder or Bumble?
- Three ways. A man cannot start with a cold message: he approaches by answering her questions, and the number of approaches is limited by design, so her inbox never turns into a flood. Every approach gets a real decision, so effort never disappears into silence. And there is no photo profile to embellish — the video is the profile, so you meet the person you actually saw talking.
- Why video only?
- Because a photo is the least honest part of a dating profile — and because it hides the best part of many people. Humor, voice, the way someone thinks: none of it photographs. Fifteen seconds of video carries more truth than a page of filtered pictures, and expectations built on it survive the first date.
- Do only women ask questions?
- No. Anyone can post questions, and answering is always optional. A woman can answer a question just for her own gallery, or send a direct video answer to the man who asked. That direct answer is the one first move she can make: he sees it and decides whether to open the chat. The same consent rules work both ways: a like opens the chat, a pass closes the interaction clearly.
- Who will see my videos?
- Only people inside Sezi that the app shows you to — profiles are not browsable on the open internet. Every answer — a man’s or a woman’s — is recorded either for the gallery inside Sezi or just for one person; that choice is made per answer. Playback carries a watermark to deter screen recording.
- What happens to my videos and data?
- They are used to run Sezi: matching, profiles, and conversations inside the app. We never sell your data. If you delete your account, your videos disappear everywhere, including from other people’s chats.
- Is it free?
- The core experience is free at launch: recording, questions, approaches, chats. Paid features may come later, but with a hard rule — payment can make a man more visible, it can never force a conversation. A chat opens only when there is a real decision to continue. Verification is free and always will be.
- Who can use Sezi?
- Adults 18+ in Kazakhstan at launch; dating between men and women. You only need a Telegram account — Sezi runs inside Telegram, nothing to install.
- What languages does it support?
- Kazakh, Russian, and English. The question experience is adapted for each language.
