“Nearby” communication is our spontaneous data sharing feature. No need to connect to unknown peeps: you can interact with all users who reside within a radius up to 100 meters around you and also use the nearby mode. Texts and attachments will be transferred safely – just how you are used to it. Plus: messages and attachments can be sent and received gesture-controlled.
Start Nearby mode
Change to the nearby tab to start the nearby mode. The app will immediately start searching for other users nearby enabling you to start a conversation and spontaneously exchange data with anybody around you also running “nearby”.
Add nearby contacts as friends to stay in contact or create a permanent group from nearby group to stay in touch even when people leave nearby or deactivate the nearby mode.
Nearby mode is deactivated the moment you switch tabs again.
