Is Frenzy a dating app?

No. Frenzy is not a dating app.
What Frenzy is for
Frenzy is a social discovery app designed to help you find people around you and hang out in real life. People use Frenzy to:
- Discover who is nearby
- Browse profiles
- Rate friends and people they meet
- Share real-time posts from their camera
- Start conversations
- Make plans IRL
That can include friends, classmates, coworkers, neighbors, or people you keep seeing in the same places.
Choose who you want to meet
On Frenzy, you can choose who appears in discovery based on your preferences. For example, you can look for:
- Only women
- Only men
- Non-binary people
- Everyone, or the people you choose
Those preferences help you control who you discover nearby. They also affect who can visit your profile and see your posts. Choosing who you want to meet does not turn Frenzy into a dating app — it is still about social discovery and hanging out IRL.
How Frenzy is different from dating apps
Dating apps are usually built around romantic matching and swiping. Frenzy focuses on nearby discovery and real-world hangouts. There is no swipe-first dating flow at the center of the product.
You decide how you want to connect with someone. Some people may become friends. Some may hang out in a group. Romance is not what Frenzy is designed around.
Still use good judgment
Even though Frenzy is not a dating app, you should still stay safe when chatting or meeting someone new. Meet in public places, tell someone you trust where you are going, and report or block anyone who behaves inappropriately.
