Your places, with your people. Save the places you love, keep a list of where you want to go, and share it all on one map with friends, family, or anyone with the link. NEW IN 1.2: give any map its own link, like wherewe.net/@yourname, and put it in your Instagram or TikTok bio. Anyone can open it without the app, and every place opens in Apple Maps or Google Maps. SAVE PLACES FROM INSTAGRAM & TIKTOK Found a restaurant in a Reel or a hidden beach on TikTok? Share the post to WhereWe and it drafts a map pin for you, with the place and a photo, ready to review in your Inbox. It works well when the post names its places in the text. BEEN THERE. WANT TO GO. Mark every place Been or Want, so your memories and your plans share one map. Add photos, notes, links and a category, from restaurants and cafes to museums and landmarks. ONE MAP, TOGETHER Invite friends or family with a code or QR code. Up to 4 people share a map for free. Everyone adds places, photos sync for everyone on the map, and you can sort the list by who added what. SHARE A MAP WITH ANYONE (NEW) • Pick an @username and get your own page: wherewe.net/@yourname • Publish a map as a guide with its own link • Add a cover photo, a description and your notes • Add a short bio and links to your Instagram and TikTok EXPLORE (NEW) Search maps other people have shared, by city, country, title or @username. Every map in Explore is reviewed before it appears. Save a whole map into your own, or choose just the places you want. COPY PLACES BETWEEN YOUR MAPS (NEW) Copy the places you pick from one of your maps to another. RANK YOUR FAVORITES Say how a place felt, then choose between two places in quick head-to-heads. WhereWe turns your picks into a score out of 10 and a ranking for every category. NEVER WALK PAST A SAVED SPOT Turn on nearby reminders and WhereWe lets you know when you're close to a place on your Want list.
