Remember the messenger with the smiley sun? You used to type (oh, you used to type!) often to an unknown number and sometimes managed to click with someone and make an online acquaintance. Now there are many more possibilities (does the copywriter sound like a boomer? 😅). Today, in a much safer and easier way, you can meet people from other corners of the country, or even the world. How? It's worth GETTING TO KNOW this text!
Apps for meeting new people – yes or no?
Each of us will answer this question differently. In our opinion – and we are, after all, a social mobile operator – it's worth building new relationships and talking. With everyone. Especially with older people. We even ran a special campaign A Message from a Senior, which encourages contact with older, often lonely people.
There are people who spend their time most pleasantly in the comfort of their homes. Often by themselves. There are also those who love interacting with others. And silence simply bores them. They want to talk to someone with similar interests, exchange opinions, or arrange a joint training session, for example, tennis. It is primarily for them that apps for meeting people are created.
There are also those who are looking for their soulmate online. Often a companion for life 🖤. And finally, there are Vikings who would gladly talk to another Viking. For example, about the Subscription offer. Or about what to do with unused gigs. And here we are. And we will find the right tool for each of these people! Obviously, in line with the #ForOurOwnEverything 👊 principle.
How to effectively make new acquaintances online?
You can't do without it! And we're talking about… the internet. Good internet. Since you're reading this post, you definitely have access to it. But maybe you can have better? Check out our fast mobile internet on a card, which runs like the Black Pearl ⛵ and offers 100 to 250 GB in its package.
If the internet works as it should – it's worth anchoring for a moment ⚓ on the topic of security. The web is teeming with scammers, hackers, and other ruffians, so you always have to act smart. And above all, use proven and reputable applications (does the copywriter sound like a boomer again? 🫠). Jokes aside, this should be rule number 1. It's also worth securing yourself further and finding out what a VPN on your phone is and how to use it.
What apps for meeting people?
Okay, let's get down to business – let's move on to the aforementioned 🏞️ apps. We've tested two free apps each – for meeting people and for dating. And as always in our rankings – they are available for both Android and iOS. And at the end, we'll mention the messenger from Vikings for Vikings.
Best apps for meeting people – our top picks
Meet Heyway. This is a Polish (!) social app that helps you meet people with the same interests as you. Or with… completely different ones, because maybe you're looking for someone who will introduce you to new aspects of some hobby. If you want to go to the cinema, an event, or for sports – this app is for you 👌.
You can chat, talk, exchange photos, organize meetings, or join an outing organized by someone else. Additionally, you get access to discounts with the app's partners, which increase with your activity. Heyway offers the ability to invite people by recording a video. This is an interesting feature that increases safety and confidence.
We also recommend Slowly. This is an app for meeting people from other countries 🌍. But in what way! It's great for improving your foreign language skills. It was created for those who value deep conversations in the era of instant messages. Because in it, you send… virtual “letters”! The farther away the recipient lives, the longer it takes for your message to be delivered. You don't have to face the pressure of replying quickly to someone.
The app matches people based on their languages and interests. Additionally, you collect stamps in it. You unlock them, for example, by meeting people from different countries. Sending the first letter is really exciting! You can also send photos if both parties agree.
Best dating apps – our top picks
There are a lot of them! In Poland, Tinder (average user age group is 15-24 years) and Badoo (25-34 years) have a strong position. They are very simple and intuitive. And importantly – they effectively filter out fake accounts.
Tinder allows you to choose your preferred gender, age, and search radius. Its operating principle is simple. Just swipe left on a person's photo if you don't like them, or right if you'd like to get to know them better. If the other user accepts your invitation, you can start a conversation. And recently – connect via video.
Badoo works very similarly. It matches people through their interests. It is the largest dating app in the world and has an established reputation. Why? Because it focuses heavily on security. Examples? You can only talk to people with verified photos. Additionally, the app automatically detects intimate photos from other users. It blurs them and warns you before opening them.
Bonus at the end: a harbor ⚓ for Vikings
And now – as the Anglosaxons say – LAST BUT NOT LEAST (yes, the copywriter definitely sounds like a boomer, but they're good with it!) 🥁. That is, something for Vikings who would like to be more initiated – into various actions, promotions, and simply Viking life ⚡. We are on Discord. Feel free to join! Provided you are a proud Viking!
Which app for meeting people to choose?
It all depends on your needs, but you know our choice 🤘. There are also social networks with the option of meeting people. But that's a different story – for another, longer tale. You will definitely hear about it from us in the future.
Happy clicking!
