wherio points a live compass straight at your friends โ in a festival crowd, a foreign city, or a packed car park. No accounts, no history, end-to-end encrypted, and everything deletes itself when you meet.
Coming soon to Google Play See how it works
From "where are you?" to walking toward each other in under a minute.
One tap creates a private session with a short join code. No sign-up, no phone numbers.
Send the code over any chat app. Your friend taps it and wherio opens straight into your session.
A live compass and map guide you toward each other, updating every few seconds until you meet.
wherio is not a tracker. It's a handshake: short-lived, consented, and encrypted between your phones.
Locations are encrypted on your phone and only your friends can decrypt them. The server relays blobs it cannot read.
No sign-up, no phone number, no contact list access. A session is just a code you share out loud or over chat.
With wherio Plus, up to four friends converge on one another โ everyone sees everyone, all pairwise encrypted.
Long-press the map to agree on a spot, or let wherio pick a walkable midpoint between all of you.
No reception at the festival? Local Bluetooth mode keeps the arrow and distance working phone-to-phone.
When you meet โ or stop โ keys, names, and locations are wiped from the server and both phones immediately.
Start in seconds, follow the compass, converge as a group.
