Introducing VibeCheck (Beta)

Updated over a month ago

Start a conversation with someone who shares your mood.

Bored and just want to see how your community is feeling, or want to find others who are feeling the same way?

We’re rolling out a new way to connect that feels more authentic, local, and is always the right time for it… VibeCheck!

How does VibeCheck work?

  • Express your Vibe with an Emoji! 🦁🥳😇🤩

  • See others nearby and their Vibe!

  • Interested in connecting? Send them a request and start chatting.

VibeCheck will elevate your chat experience. Your mood will be public while your identity stays private. You’ll only see nearby users who were recently active, making every connection timely, local, and anonymous.

Know Your Vibe!!

Your vibe = your current mood, activity or interest.

Feeling happy, calm, motivated, excited, silly or maybe a little bit sad? Or want to highlight that you’re out getting coffee or working out at the gym?

Pick the emoji that best expresses how you are right now. It will help others connect with you and make the chat more meaningful.

Don’t worry, moods change therefore you can always update your vibe to match how you feel right now!

Just be yourself, say hi, and If it doesn’t click, you will find other connections!

What does Beta mean?

VibeCheck is in test mode, an early version released on a small scale. This simplified version is the foundation of what we’re building for you next!

We’re testing to:

  • Develop a feature that is smooth, safe, and useful

  • Eliminate spam and noise

  • Design a natural and fun experience

Can I move around the map and pick any area to explore and chat in?

Not yet. In the current version, you can only see and connect with people around your current area.
