Everything FrenXa can do

Feature 01

FrenXa places an interactive map at the heart of your social experience. See friends’ shared locations in real time (with their permission) and tap into your world visually instead of only scrolling a distant feed.

• Live location sharing — see who is nearby when they choose to share (optional)
• Privacy controls — home pin defaults private; widen to friends or public in Settings
• Tap to connect — open a profile, start a chat, or begin a call from the map

Feature 02

Curious who or what is around you? Nearby Discovery turns your immediate environment into opportunity — people and local businesses in context.

• Find people near you — discover new friends close by when sharing is enabled
• Discover local businesses — cafés, gyms, salons, shops and more with profile details
• Filters & map tools — narrow what you see by distance and discovery preferences
• Fresh presence — nearby surfaces refresh as people and listings update

Feature 03

See which of your friends are close. Nearby Friends works with the Friends Map so digital closeness can become an in-person moment.

• Distance context — understand who’s nearby at a glance
• Status awareness — when friends share a status, you’ll know before you reach out
• Quick actions — message, call, or open a profile from nearby lists
• Optional alerts — enable notifications so you don’t miss a chance to connect in person

Feature 04

Plan get-togethers with map-aware meetings — drop a place, set a time, and coordinate without endless “where are you?” messages.

• Drop a pin — choose a meeting spot on the map
• Suggest a time — invite friends or groups to an instant or scheduled meeting
• RSVP-style coordination — accept, decline, or adjust plans inside FrenXa
• Directions — open navigation to the meeting point in your maps app
