Good to know
Questions people ask.
- What is Synup?
- Synup is the home for the Persian community. It is a place to stay close to your people, build the connections that matter, and support each other, wherever you are. Persians everywhere come together here around events and gatherings, a community marketplace, and the local businesses they trust.
- Is Synup only for Iranians outside Iran?
- No. Synup is for the whole Persian community, inside and outside Iran. Our community abroad is growing fastest right now, but Persians in Iran are just as much a part of it. A few features like the marketplace are limited in some regions because of sanctions, yet being part of the community is open to everyone.
- Do I have to be Iranian to use Synup?
- No. Synup is for the Persian community and everyone who feels part of it. If you speak Farsi, grew up around the culture, or simply want to connect with Persians near you, you belong here.
- Is Synup free?
- Yes. Synup is free to download and free to use. A few optional extras are paid, but everything you need to be part of the community is free.
- How do I join Synup?
- Get Synup on iPhone, Android, or inside Telegram, then set your city and what you care about. That is all it takes to be part of your community.
- I own a business. How do I get listed?
- Businesses have their own home on Synup. Create a business account at synup.app to list your place, share news and events, and reach the community looking for people to trust. It is separate from the personal app your customers use.
