InPulsar — Discover What’s Happening Around You Discover your city in a more social way. InPulsar brings events, places, people, and spontaneous plans together, helping you discover what’s happening nearby and turn local discovery into real-life experiences. DISCOVER EVENTS AND PLACES Explore nearby events and places on an interactive map, or move around the map to discover what’s happening in other areas. Your device location may be used to help center the discovery map around your current area. Your location is not shared with other users simply by using the Discover map. FIND AND CREATE EVENTS Discover community-created events, view event details, join available events, or create your own event and bring people together. JOIN SPONTANEOUS PULSES Pulses are quick plans created for the moment. Grab a coffee, go for a walk, meet for food, hang out, or create a Pulse and let others discover and join it. SHARE YOUR VIBE Vibe is an optional feature for people who are open to connecting with others nearby. When you choose to activate Vibe, you can select a status and explicitly check in to share your approximate location with other active Vibe users nearby. Activating normal location access or browsing the Discover map does not automatically make you visible to other users. You can stop sharing through Vibe at any time. Profiles remain private during the initial nearby discovery experience and can be revealed as users choose to connect. MEET PEOPLE AROUND YOU Connect with people through shared interests, events, Pulses, groups, and conversations. Follow profiles you’re interested in and build connections around activities and experiences you have in common. GROUPS AND CHATS Create or join groups and communicate through direct chats, group conversations, event chats, and Pulse chats. Users can report inappropriate content and block individual users from their profiles. SHARE WHAT’S HAPPENING Post moments, share stories, follow people you like, and keep up with activity happening across your community. CAPTURE MOMENTS WITH MIX Share your perspective through MIX — a creative space for Polaroid-style photos. Explore moments shared by others, like your favorites, and add your own snapshots to a shared visual wall. Whether you’re looking for something to do, somewhere to go, people to meet, or a spontaneous plan, InPulsar helps you discover more around you. Discover nearby. Connect naturally. Experience more in real life. InPulsar is intended for users aged 18 and older.
