Yapbar is an Indian social and professional network. You can follow people and companies, share posts, find jobs, join communities and events, read news in your language and build a trusted profile, all with controls that put you in charge.
Getting started
Yes. Reading, posting, connecting, messaging your connections, applying for jobs and every feed control are free. Optional paid plans add extras such as an ad-free feed, long-form writing, verification and hiring tools.
Getting started
Choose Join on the home page, enter your name, email and mobile number, verify the one-time passwords and choose a password. Then complete your profile so people can find you.
Getting started
You can use Yapbar in English and the major Indian languages, and you can filter your feed and news by the languages you read.
Getting started
A personal account is for individuals. A corporate account is for people who represent a business: it can create a company page, post jobs and run advertising once the company is verified.
Getting started
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password. We send a one-time password to your registered email or mobile number so you can set a new one.
Account and security
Use a long, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication in Settings. Never share one-time passwords with anyone, including people who claim to be from Yapbar.
Account and security
Go to Settings → Account and choose Delete account. Your personal data is erased or anonymised as described in our Privacy Policy, except where the law requires us to keep it.
Account and security
Report the profile using Report → Impersonation. If you also lost money or sensitive data, report it at cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930.
Account and security
Never. We do not sell personal data and we do not read private messages to target advertising. Advertisers only see aggregated results.
Privacy and data
Choose Fact-check on the post and add your evidence. You need a verified mobile number, and you can challenge a post once.
Fact-check
You decide. In Settings → Privacy choose who can find you, view your profile, see your connections and message you.
Privacy and data
When enough people challenge it, certified fact-checkers review it (two independent reviewers must agree) and attach a verdict with sources. Posts are never quietly removed or pushed down. The author can respond, edit and appeal.
Fact-check
You can export your data and delete your account from Settings. For other requests under the DPDP Act, see Your data rights.
Privacy and data
True, Mostly true, Missing context, Misleading, False, Manipulated media, Satire and Unverifiable. Each label links to a summary and the sources behind it.
Fact-check
On secure infrastructure, with a preference for locations in India. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Privacy and data
A badge shows that a specific fact was checked, such as identity, employer or company registration. Open any badge to see who issued it, how and until when.
Verification and badges
Be wary of jobs that ask for money, a deposit or an OTP, that only use WhatsApp or Telegram, or that use a personal e-mail. Applying is always free. Flag the job and report it.
Jobs & scams
No. The identity check is free; the public Verified person badge is a paid subscription; payment never replaces the check. The badge shows only while you have both a successful e-KYC and a live plan. If the plan lapses the badge is paused and returns when you renew, without a new check. Paying never changes your feed order, fact-checks or other badges.
Verification and badges
Every job has a response deadline. After it passes you can flag the job as non-responsive. Enough flags open a staff review; fraud flags take the job down at once; staff can pause new posts.
Jobs & scams
Open Verify from the menu and follow the steps. We confirm that your government-issued ID matches your name. We do not store your full ID number.
Verification and badges
The Application Tracker shows each job from saved to applied to heard back, interview, offer, rejected or no response.
Jobs & scams
A corporate account holder adds the company’s GSTIN, which is checked with the GST registry, and then completes the company wizard. Verified companies show a badge. Companies that make or create in India can also apply for the Made in India badge.
Verification and badges
Badges end when they expire, when the facts change or when they were obtained through false information. You receive the reason and can appeal. See the Verification Policy.
Verification and badges
After you sign up we send a 6-digit code to your e-mail. Enter it within 10 minutes. You get 5 attempts per code, and you can request a new one after 30 seconds. Until you verify, some features stay limited.
Verification and badges
A corporate account is for employees acting for a company. It needs a work e-mail: personal webmail, disposable, shared mailboxes (info@, hr@), educational and government domains are not accepted. Only a verified corporate account can later create a company page.
Verification and badges
The message under the e-mail field tells you the exact reason. Studying or teaching? Join as a Citizen and apply for the Student or Educator badge. Government official? Join as a Citizen and use the Government official verification.
Verification and badges
It is voluntary. You enter your Aadhaar number, confirm a one-time code sent to your linked mobile, and a licensed partner confirms your name. We never store or show the Aadhaar number, only a masked reference.
Verification and badges
No. We don’t host video. You can share a YouTube video or Short by pasting its link into a post. It appears as an embedded card with a poster image and plays only when you press play.
Videos & links
Not until you press play. The poster image is served by us, so scrolling past or opening a post never contacts Google. Pressing play loads the YouTube player, which follows YouTube’s own privacy terms.
Videos & links
Public YouTube videos and Shorts (youtube.com and youtu.be links). Other links show as a normal link preview. Private or removed videos show a message instead of a player.
Videos & links
Yes. Reports, fact-check challenges and the Community Guidelines apply to a post with an embedded video exactly as they do to text. Removing a post removes the embed from our side.
Videos & links
Open a job and choose Apply. Applying is always free for candidates. You can track every application from Jobs → Applications.
Jobs and hiring
Verify your company, then choose Post a job from the Jobs page. Posting uses a job credit from a pack or a company plan.
Jobs and hiring
Never. Genuine employers do not charge candidates. If anyone asks you for money, report the job and see Safety.
Jobs and hiring
They must be real, transparent and free of fees for candidates. See the Job Posting Policy.
Jobs and hiring
Yes. Reading, posting, connecting, messaging people you know, applying for jobs and all feed controls are free and stay free. Paid plans add capacity or convenience, or cover the cost of a check.
Billing and plans
No. Personal accounts cannot buy reach and there is no ranking to game. Businesses can run clearly labelled ads, which are separate from the order of the feed.
Billing and plans
Yes. Prices shown to you include GST, and the GST split is shown on checkout and on your invoice. You get a GST invoice for each payment.
Billing and plans
Any time from Settings → Billing. Access continues until the end of the period you have paid for.
Billing and plans
Messages to people you are not connected with. Every member gets a free monthly allowance, shown in the app. Replies and messages to your connections never use it. You can add more with a message pack.
Billing and plans
It combines the most popular member features, such as an ad-free feed, long-form writing and a verified badge (after identity verification), at a lower price than buying them separately. See the Pricing page for current prices.
Billing and plans
Create a corporate account, verify your company and open Ads. Build your campaign, submit it for review and pay securely. See Advertise.
Advertising
Ads must follow the Advertising Policy. The rejection message tells you what to fix and you can resubmit.
Advertising
Yes. In Settings → Ads choose how often ads appear, which categories are allowed and which advertisers to block.
Advertising
From free public feeds of Indian publishers and government sources. We show headlines and links, and every item sends you to the publisher’s site.
