From “where are you?”
to “there you are.”
wherio points a live compass straight at your friends — in a festival crowd, a foreign city, or a packed car park. Share a six-character code, follow the arrow, and watch the distance count down. Temporary location sharing, with no account to create.
See how it works
How it works
From tapping a link to walking toward each other in under a minute.
Start a session
One tap creates a private session with a short join code. No sign-up, no phone numbers.
Share the link
Send the code over any chat app. Your friend taps it and wherio opens straight into your session.
Follow the arrow
A live compass and map guide you toward each other, updating every few seconds until you meet.
Want the details first? Read how wherio location sharing works: who can see you, how to stop sharing, and what happens if your connection drops or you change phones.
Built for finding people — and nothing else
wherio is not a tracker. It's a handshake: short-lived, consented, and encrypted between your phones.
End-to-end encrypted
Locations are encrypted on your phone and only your friends can decrypt them. The server relays blobs it cannot read.
No accounts
No sign-up, no phone number, no contact list access. A session is just a code you share out loud or over chat.
Groups of four
With wherio Plus, up to four friends converge on one another — everyone sees everyone, all pairwise encrypted.
Meeting points
Long-press the map to agree on a spot, or let wherio pick a walkable midpoint between all of you.
Say it on the way
Message everyone in the session without leaving the map — encrypted like the locations, and gone when the session ends.
Temporary by design
Location and chat history stay in session memory and clear when you leave. A short-lived recovery record can reconnect an interrupted session without keeping location or chat history. Read our privacy policy for details.
A look inside
One code, a live compass, a group map, and encrypted session chat.
