## What is helloStranger?

Meet real people, right where you are.

helloStranger shows you who's nearby and ready to talk — no swiping through profiles from across the world, no algorithms deciding who you should meet. Just real people, close by, right now.

How it works
• Open the app and see who's nearby, live
• Tap "Say Hi" to break the ice — no awkward opening lines required
• Chat instantly, with read receipts and typing indicators
• Filter by who you're looking to meet

Built for real connections, safely
• Liveness verification confirms every profile is a real person, not a photo
• Block and report anyone, anytime — no explanation needed
• Contact-sharing is paced within chat, so conversations build naturally before you exchange personal details
• You're always in control of your visibility — pause discovery anytime

Go further with Premium
• Range Premium unlocks wider discovery — from 500m up to 30km — so you can find people nearby even when you're traveling or in a quieter area
• Chat Premium raises your monthly new-conversation limit from 2 to 50, so you're never stuck waiting to meet someone new

Whether you're new in town, looking to expand your circle, or just curious who's around — helloStranger makes meeting nearby people simple, safe, and instant.
