How do I discover people on Frenzy?
Last updated on 2026-03-15
Frenzy is designed to help you discover people around you and turn nearby moments into real plans.
Discover people nearby
- Open Frenzy.
- Allow location access while using the app.
- Open the discovery experience.
- Browse the people shown near you.
- Open a profile to learn more.
- Choose who you want to meet — for example only women, only men, non-binary people, or everyone.
- Rate friends and people around you, share real-time posts, then message them to start a conversation.
How discovery chooses who you see
Frenzy uses your approximate location while the app is open to show people nearby. The list can change based on:
- Where you are
- Nearby activity on Frenzy
- Your discovery preferences
- Who else is using Frenzy around you
That is how Frenzy finds people near you without relying on swipe-based dating feeds.
Tips for better discovery
- Use a clear, recent profile photo so people can recognize you IRL
- Keep location on while you are actively using the app
- Try discovery in places where people actually are
- Be respectful when you rate others or start chats
If discovery looks empty
- Confirm Frenzy has location permission while using the app
- Check your discovery filters, including gender preferences and distance (km) range
- Widen your distance range or broaden who you want to meet if your filters are too narrow
- Check your internet connection
- Update the app
- Move to a busier area and try again later
