Nearby and Ghost mode

Friends nearby. Never your exact spot.

See friends and new people around you on the map. Others only see a rough area of about 500 m, and Ghost mode hides you in one tap.

Ghost mode is on. Nobody can see you on the map.

Close enough to link up. Never close enough to find your door.

How it works.

Find your people nearby, send a friend request and start a conversation.

A rough area, not a pin

On the map you show up as a spot about 500 m wide. Never your street, never your door.

Ghost mode in one tap

Want a break? Turn on Ghost mode and you disappear from the map at once.

Friends only, if you like

Switch the map to show just your friends, or look around for new people nearby.

Blocked means blocked

People you block never see you on the map. Not even your rough area.

You decide when you are on the map. Nobody else.
