## What is Mappingo?

Mappingo helps you meet people where you already are.

Check in at a café, bar, club, gym or meetup and you join that venue's live room. See who else is there right now, what kind of night they're having, and say hi. When you leave, you leave the room.

WHY MAPPINGO
• Real people, really there. Everyone verifies with a selfie, and check-in only works when you're at the venue.
• Rooms that end when you leave. Your check-in photo and your place in the room disappear when you check out.
• You decide who you talk to. Chats start with an invite, so nobody can message you out of the blue.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Explore spots around you with live counts and the vibe right now.
• Check in with a live photo and set your vibe: open to chat, here to network, low key.
• Chat in the room or one-on-one, with photos, voice notes and calls.
• Find friends from your contacts and see when they're out nearby.
• Make a plan for tonight and invite friends on Mappingo or WhatsApp.
• After a great conversation, make a "Met on Mappingo" card together (both of you have to agree) and share it to your story.
• Unlock perks at partner venues when you check in.
• See where the vibe is tonight on the map.
• Get a monthly recap of your nights out to share.

SAFETY AND PRIVACY
• Face-verified profiles, and block or report anyone in two taps.
• Other people never see your exact location, only the venue you checked into.
• Hide your photos from anyone, hide yourself from Nearby, or only accept invites from verified women.
• Delete your account at any time from the app.

Mappingo is free.
