There is just no easy way to say hello. Sonar turns that everyday proximity into real connections, and it does it without maps, without pins and without exposing anyone&#39;s location.<br><br>PRIVACY FIRST — NO MAP, NO EXACT LOCATION • Nobody ever sees your position on a map • No exact distance and no direction — only an approximate range • Choose your discovery range: 100 m, 500 m or 1 km • Turn your visibility off at any time, on the radar or worldwide • Report or block anyone, instantly and anonymously<br><br>HOW SONAR WORKS • Open the radar and see how many people are nearby right now • Browse profiles within the range you choose • Send a connection request: a chat, a coffee, friendship or conversation • Private messaging unlocks only after your request is accepted • Get a notification the moment someone messages you or wants to connect<br><br>TWO WAYS TO DISCOVER PEOPLE • Nearby — find people around you using privacy-safe distance bands • Global — meet new people worldwide, no location needed at all<br><br>FOR EVERY KIND OF CONNECTION Whether you are here to make new friends, find someone to talk to, meet people for dating, or grow your professional network, you pick why you are here — and you can change it whenever you like.<br><br>FILTER FOR WHO YOU WANT TO MEET • Filter by age range • Filter by gender • Filter by country in Global mode<br><br>SAFE BY DESIGN • 18+ community with age confirmation at sign-up • Report and block tools on every profile and every chat • Blocking stops all contact immediately, in both directions • Delete your account and all of your data from inside the app, any time • Full English and Turkish support<br><br>WHO SONAR IS FOR People who want to meet new friends nearby.
