Putting an Access Key Into the Happ App
Until a key is in place, Happ has no server to connect to — and once you know which screen to open, the whole thing takes just a couple of taps.
Key vs. Subscription Link
An access key is essentially a set of connection parameters that ties the app to your account and its servers. A subscription link performs the same role, with one advantage: it can update the server list automatically, sparing you any manual work.
- Both are handed out only through the service Telegram bot
- The Happ app offers no built-in way to create a key yourself
- As a rule, one key can be used on several devices simultaneously
To learn how to obtain one, head to Happ Telegram bot.
Locating the Add-Key Screen
On its very first launch, Happ asks you to paste in a key. When the app has already been set up, you can add a further key straight from the main screen.
- Search the interface for a "+" icon or an option to add a subscription
- Wording varies by version — the screen might say "Add configuration" or "Add subscription"
- Its placement stays the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone, and Smart TV
Adding the Key Step by Step
The steps are the same regardless of your platform.
- Copy the key text or link out of the bot's message in Telegram
- Open the add screen within Happ
- Paste what you copied into the input field
- Confirm, and the app will fetch the list of available servers

Verifying That the Key Took
It's a good idea to confirm the result before you attempt to connect.
- You should see at least one item in the server list
- The number of servers displayed varies with your plan
- Connecting to any server and getting a "connected" status proves the key is functioning
Key Won't Add? Look at These
Occasionally the first try fails — typically it comes down to the key text or to its expiration date.
- Check that the whole key was copied, with nothing cut off and no stray spaces
- Verify it's still valid — the current terms are listed on the Happ pricing page
- If the error persists, ask the Telegram bot for a new key

Frequently asked questions
Can Happ hold several keys at once?
Yes — the app can keep multiple keys or subscriptions and lets you switch between them freely.
Will the key be lost when the app updates?
No — a key you've added remains stored and doesn't have to be entered again after an update.
The subscription link didn't open on its own — what should I do?
Copy it by hand from the Telegram bot and paste it into the add-key field.
Will a single key run on several devices?
Usually yes — the same key or subscription can be added to Happ on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone, and Smart TV.
