Hey You: Nearby Conversations

Say hey to people nearby, then keep the conversation going, even when you're apart.

Hey You makes it easy to start a conversation with someone nearby.

SAY HEY Turn on Nearby and say hey to everyone around you, or to one person. When someone answers, you're in a private chat. Nearby runs over Bluetooth, so it works even where there's no signal.

KEEP TALKING After you've met, your chat carries on over the internet when you're apart: up to 1,000 messages a day, and messages sent nearby don't count. One tick means sent, two mean delivered.

OPEN SIGNAL Put your phone on the table and start Open Signal. A red light travels around the edge of your screen so people nearby can see you're on Hey You.

YOUR PROFILE, YOUR CALL Pick a name, a short intro and a photo if you like. No phone number, email address or password. Add your socials and share them only with the people you choose. You decide whether your profile shows up nearby.

SAFETY BUILT IN Block or report anyone. When you report, you choose exactly which messages to include. Turn on end-to-end encryption in any chat when you both agree. Support is right inside the app.
