CHAT PRIVATELY AND NEARBY

Features & Capabilities

WhosHere is a pioneering social app launched in 2008 as one of the first location-based networks. The Chrome extension brings its privacy-first, location-aware chat experience to your browser, letting you chat privately without exposing your name, phone number, or other private info. You reveal identity only when you’re ready.

Key features include private messaging, photo sharing, saving favorites, and safety tools like block/report. You can connect with people nearby or around the world, using WhosHere points for perks like virtual plane tickets. Premium accounts unlock more visibility, ad-free use, and extended chat history.

User Reviews

WhosHere reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Repeated issues include scams and fake profiles, pay-to-chat mechanics that gate conversations, and frequent app instability (crashes, loading issues). Regional restrictions (notably in the UAE) and security concerns such as credit-card data worries are common. A minority nostalgically recalls better days, but overall reliability and safety appear poor.

Pros

I like it
Used to be good (nostalgia for earlier versions)

Cons

Widespread fake profiles and scammers; many reviews say a large portion of users are fake or scams
Chats are gated behind a subscription; users are urged to pay to chat or view messages
App instability and crashes; issues include not opening, crashing when uploading photos, and messages not loading
Regional restrictions; not working in UAE or other regions
Security/privacy concerns including reported credit-card data theft and payment fraud
