How does nearby discovery work on Frenzy?
Last updated on 2026-03-15
Nearby discovery is how Frenzy finds people around you. It uses approximate location while you are using the app to show relevant people nearby.
How Frenzy finds people around you
- You open Frenzy and allow location while using the app.
- Frenzy uses approximate location to understand your area.
- People nearby who are also using Frenzy appear in discovery.
- You browse profiles, choose who you want to meet, rate people around you, share real-time posts, and message them.
Frenzy does not need your exact location, and nearby discovery does not require continuous background location access.
What affects who you see
The people you see in discovery can change based on:
- Your approximate location
- Nearby activity on Frenzy
- Your preferences for who you want to meet
- When others are actively using the app around you
That means the people near you today may look different tomorrow as places and activity change.
Privacy basics
- Nearby discovery is powered by approximate location
- Frenzy is not designed to display your exact device location to other users
- You can change location permissions in your device settings at any time
- Avoid sharing sensitive addresses or live location with people you do not trust
Nearby discovery vs dating apps
Nearby discovery is built for social discovery and hanging out IRL. It is not a swipe-first dating flow. You can still choose who you want to meet — for example only women, only men, non-binary people, or everyone — without Frenzy being designed as a dating app.
