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

  1. Open Frenzy.
  2. Allow location access while using the app.
  3. Open the discovery experience.
  4. Browse the people shown near you.
  5. Open a profile to learn more.
  6. Choose who you want to meet — for example only women, only men, non-binary people, or everyone.
  7. 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
