Frequently Asked Questions

Is BuddyMe safe?

Safety is our top priority. You can block and report users, phone numbers are only exchanged after positive meetups, and all profiles are moderated.

Is BuddyMe free?

Yes, BuddyMe is free to use. Opening Loops and joining them costs nothing, as often as you like. Premium adds visibility for your Loops and is optional.

Is BuddyMe a dating app?

No, BuddyMe focuses on friendship and shared activities. Here you'll find people for coffee, sports, events, and more – not romantic dates.

How do I join a Loop?

See a Loop you like, tap “Count me in” and you are in, along with the Loop chat. Most Loops are open. Some hosts decide who joins: those say “on request” on the card, and you send a short request.

What does "Open for..." mean?

When you say what you're "Open for", you open a Loop — an activity a few people can join. For example: "Open for coffee this week". Others nearby see it and join with one tap.

What happens once I am in?

You land in the Loop chat with everyone else who is in. You arrange time and place there, without exchanging phone numbers.

How does BuddyMe protect my safety?

All profiles are moderated, you can verify your identity with a video, and every profile has a Trust Score. Users can be blocked and reported at any time.
