Around You is the social network for the place you’re in. Instead of following people, you see what’s happening around you, right now. Open the app and you’ll find posts from people nearby, a map of what’s being posted across the city, and the people who are in your area. The feed shows what’s happening now, and older posts stay as the history of each place. What you can do: • Post what you’re seeing, ask a question, ask for help or for company, with text, photo or video. • Explore the city on the map and see posts from other neighborhoods. • Point your camera and see posts floating around you, in augmented reality. • Find people nearby, if you want to: the feature stays off until you turn it on and set your preferences. • Create or join communities for a concert, a game, a festival or your neighborhood, with a defined area and duration, and invite people nearby with a QR code or a link. • Chat with people who commented, posted or are in the same community. • Report something lost or an incident, and ask the people around you for help. Your exact location is never shown. People who see your posts only see an approximate distance, and you choose whether your location appears at all. Enjoy the places and the people around you.
