Questions about Waimz™
What is Waimz™?
Waimz™ is the real-world LGBTQ+ app for places, friends and dating, for adults 18+. Find LGBTQ+ friendly places, join communities to make friends and say hi to people near you, at home or while traveling. Waimz™ is a brand of Humainz, Inc. and is available now on Android (Google Play), with iOS coming soon.
Is Waimz™ a dating app?
Partly. Dating is one of three parts of Waimz™, next to places and friends. You can switch it off. Many people use Waimz™ only for friends, community and nights out. Your profile shows what you're here for, so friendship and dating stay clear.
Can I use Waimz™ just to make LGBTQ+ friends?
Yes. On Waimz™, join communities built around interests and identities, from run clubs and book clubs to parents' groups and support circles, and meet people at real-life meetups. You never have to use dating.
How do I find LGBTQ+ community when I move to a new city?
Open Waimz™ in your new city. Radar shows the people, communities and LGBTQ+-friendly places around you, and the Waimz™ city guide lists bars, cafés and community spaces in 35 cities to start with.
How can I find gay bars and queer-friendly places when I travel?
Waimz™ Places shows LGBTQ+-friendly bars, clubs, cafés and events near you, wherever you are. Before a trip, browse the Waimz™ city guide. With Premium, Travel mode lets you set your location before you arrive.
Is Waimz™ free?
Yes. On Waimz™, Discovery is free and unlimited, including Map, List, Discover and Radar, and so are Communities, Places and safety tools. Free members can start a limited number of new chats each month. Replies and incoming chats are always unlimited.
What do the Waimz™ paid plans include?
Waimz™ is free to use. Optional paid plans, Plus, Premium and Pro, add unlimited new chats, sending photos, a wider Radar, Travel mode and more. Prices and the current features are shown in the app before you buy, and plans renew automatically until you cancel in your app store.
Is Waimz™ safe?
On Waimz™, safety is a shared responsibility. We build the tools: photo check, block and report in every chat, hide distance and discreet mode. And we moderate with a mix of tech and real people. But no app can vet everyone or control what happens offline, and we don't run background checks. Meet in public, tell a friend, trust your gut, and read our Safety Tips.
How is Waimz™ different from other LGBTQ+ apps?
Most LGBTQ+ apps are a grid built for one thing. Waimz™ gives places, friends and dating equal weight. No swiping and no waiting for approval: you see who and what is around you and start the conversation yourself.
Who is Waimz™ for?
Waimz™ is for LGBTQ+ adults, 18+, across the whole spectrum: gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, queer and questioning. Waimz™ is built for locals, newcomers and travelers alike.
Can I use Waimz™ discreetly?
Yes. On Waimz™, you can hide your distance and use discreet mode. Block and report are in every chat.
Does Waimz™ share my orientation or use it for ads?
Orientation, gender identity and pronouns are optional on Waimz™. They are never sold and never used for advertising. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
When and where does Waimz™ launch?
Waimz™ is available on Google Play now and coming soon to the App Store. It works wherever those stores reach. It fills out city by city as people join. Follow @waimz.social to hear first when your city goes live.
How can my bar, café or venue be on Waimz™?
LGBTQ+-friendly venues get a free listing in Waimz™ Places. Send a message to @waimz.social on Instagram to be added.
