Help center

A country community for people traveling or living there. You post, browse people, and connect.

• There is one feed per country — not a catalog of city pages.
• There is no activity marketplace or trip planner in this version.

You join one country community during onboarding. Your feed, People directory, and topics belong to that country.

Tap + on your phone, or the compose box on desktop. Write freely — a question, a tip, or what happened. A topic is optional. You can add up to four photos.

Topics are optional labels on a post: visas, transport, stays, food, activities, budget, planning, shopping, safety, meeting people, culture, and practicalities. They help people scan the feed. They are not separate products, and you can post without picking one.

Open People to see travelers and locals in the same country. You can also use the presence strip on Home. Open a profile, then tap Connect.

Connect is a request, not an open inbox. The other person can accept or ignore. You can message once you are connected.

• You can withdraw a request you sent.
• You can ignore or decline an incoming request.
• Keep the first conversation in MeetLocale.

No. Face verification is optional. Completing a short live check in the app adds a verified badge so others can see you are a real person.

• You can post, appear in People, and send Connect without it.
• We do not ask for a gallery selfie or a government ID for this check.
• Using someone else’s face or a recording is not allowed.

Settings → Profile updates your name, photo, bio, and neighborhood label.

• To delete your account, use Settings → Profile → delete account. Deletion is permanent.
• See the Privacy Policy for what we keep after deletion, and for how long.

Every profile, post, and message thread has a report action. Use it for harassment, scams, impersonation, or anything that breaks the Community guidelines. You can also block someone who makes you uncomfortable.

Try the email you used to register, or Continue with Google if that is how you joined. Use Forgot password on the login page to reset a password account.
