If you like Facebook, Tinder, and Twitter then Hi5 might also be of interest to you. It is a social network designed for users to meet new people, make friends or start dating. The network was one of the first of its kind back in 2007, and despite the apparition of new, more successful social media, it is still hugely popular. In this article, you will find out how to activate your old Hi5 account or create a new one if you never had it.

What Is Hi5

Hi5 is a social media platform designed for meeting new people, chatting and even dating people who live in the same city. Functionally the app resembles Tinder in that you can see different people's profiles, like them, connect, start chatting and eventually meet up afterwards. Hi5 is one of the best ways to meet new friends and socialize, especially if you just moved to a new city. You can download the app for your Android device here.

How to Activate Your Old Account

If you are already registered to Hi5 but haven’t used it for some time, your account could be deactivated. To reactivate it, enter your email address in this tab, then click on the link in your mailbox and pick a new password to start using Hi5 and chat with new people or old friends.

How to Register in Hi5 for the First Time

If you've just heard of the Hi5 application for the first time and you'd like to try it, go to the Hi5 website or download the app and log in with your Facebook or Google account. You can also create a new account by submitting your personal information in the special field on the right. When it's done, upload your profile photo and enter a confirmation code that you will receive by email. Now you can start using the service.

Note: If you didn't receive a confirmation code, check your Spam/Junk folders, it could be there.

How to Close Your Account

If you no longer want to be on the Hi5 social network, you can easily close your account. Just follow these steps: Sign in to your account, go to Settings > Cancel Account > Cancel Your Hi5 Account, then go to the bottom of the page and click on Yes, I want to cancel my Hi5 account, and you are done. Later, if you wish to reactivate it, you will need to use the same email address.
