Help & FAQ
Which cities is DavayGO active in?
All of Ukraine. Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv have the most active members. Smaller cities (Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia, Lutsk, Chernivtsi, Uzhhorod and others) are growing as members invite friends. If your city isn't visible on the live map yet, you'll be one of the first to seed it.
How do I get started?
Tap “Open in Telegram” anywhere on this site. The bot launches a Mini App inside Telegram, asks you a few short questions (your city, interests, what you're here for), and you're in. No invite, no account, no install.
Is there an app to install?
No. DavayGO runs as a Telegram Mini App. If you already have Telegram, you have DavayGO. The bot opens an in-app web view — nothing to download, no separate account.
What's the difference between an event, a hangout, and a group?
Events are scheduled meetups with cover photos, RSVPs and chat — usually a few days out. Hangouts are spontaneous 2–4 hour open invitations (“I'm at Aroma Kava, come if you want”). Groups are recurring series (weekly yoga, monthly book club, etc.) that bundle related events with their own ongoing chat.
How do AI-proposed hangouts work? What's "quorum"?
If you opt in, the bot clusters members by shared interests and time slots they're typically free, then sends a tentative hangout invite to a small group (e.g. 5 people). Each invite shows you why you got it (matched tags, city, time). If enough people RSVP — that's the quorum — the hangout activates and everyone gets a chat. If not, it expires quietly. Max 3 proposals per day; quiet hours (22:00–06:00) are skipped.
Who can see my Telegram username?
By default, your @handle is hidden on your profile. Other members see your name and avatar; they message you through the in-app DM instead. You can choose to expose your Telegram handle in Settings if you prefer.
How do references work?
After meeting someone at an event or hangout, both sides can write a short reference — positive, neutral, or critical — tied to that specific context. References appear on profiles to other members. You can dispute a reference by contacting an admin.
Are events free? How does Telegram Stars work?
Most events are free. Some paid events (e.g. ticketed nights, workshops, venue boosts) use Telegram Stars, Telegram's built-in payment system. Paying is one tap inside Telegram — no card forms. Organizers can also pay Stars to feature an event for 7 days.
Can I leave DavayGO?
Anytime. In Settings → Account, request deletion and we'll erase your profile, references you wrote, hangouts and RSVPs within 7 days. Chats you participated in are anonymized.
Where is my data stored?
On a single managed server in the EU. We don't sell data, we don't run ads, and we share only with the infrastructure providers required to operate the service (hosting, error monitoring). See the Privacy Policy for the full list.
